What is the Cisco ASR 8000 (ASR8K) course fee at RST Forum?

The course fee is ₹30,000. There are no hidden charges — lab access and course material are included.

How long is the Cisco ASR 8000 (ASR8K) course?

90 hours of live instructor-led training (lectures plus hands-on lab practice), running as weekday-evening or weekend batches.

Do I need prior experience to join?

Advanced level. Hands-on experience with Cisco Systems technologies — or an associate-level certification in this track — is strongly recommended before you join.

Is the training classroom or online?

Both. Classroom batches run at our Mumbai campus, and the same batch streams live for online students across India. Both get identical lab access and the same instructor.

Are the labs hands-on?

Yes — the course includes 17 hands-on labs, practised on real equipment with 24/7 remote lab access through Skillopia, our own lab platform, for practice between classes.

Can I attend a demo session before enrolling?

Yes. Sit through a live class with the instructor before you decide - call +91 91672 24466 or send an enquiry and we will schedule it.
