How long is the CCNP ENCOR - Cisco Enterprise Core course?

120 hours of live instructor-led training (lectures + hands-on lab practice), across weekday-evening or weekend batches.

Do I need prior experience to join?

CCNA-level knowledge of routing and switching is strongly recommended before taking ENCOR.

Is the training online or classroom?

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

Which certification does this course prepare me for?

Cisco CCNP Enterprise (Core) (exam 350-401 ENCOR). The course tracks the exam blueprint and ends with structured exam preparation.

Are the labs hands-on?

Yes - this is a lab-intensive course practiced on real equipment, with 24/7 remote lab access through Skillopia, our own lab platform, for practice between classes.

What comes after this course?

Most students continue to CCNP ENARSI to complete the CCNP Enterprise certification, or progress towards CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure.

Cisco certification roadmap

The whole Cisco path, and where you are on it

CCNP Enterprise is a professional track - the core exam plus one concentration. The Automation and Cybersecurity tracks each have an associate exam of their own that most people sit first - useful, not required.

Cards you can click are certifications we run a live course for; the rest are on the chart for context. Cisco's program is wider than this - the complete version is linked below. Levels, tracks and exam codes follow Cisco's own career certifications chart, rev 08/26, which sets no formal prerequisite between levels: the lines are the route people take, not a gate.
