CCNP Course module:

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification is recommended for students to enroll in the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) curriculum. This advanced curriculum trains students to install, configure and operate local-and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs), and dial access services for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes with protocols and technologies such as: TCP/IP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, ISDN, Frame Relay, STP, and VTP. The focus is on developing those skills that enable students to implement scalable networks, build campus networks using multilayer switching technologies, create and deploy a global intranet, and troubleshoot an environment using Cisco routers and switches for multiprotocol client hosts and services.

Topic Guidelines for CCIE Exam

.
Exams are the core of the CCIE program.Training is not the CCIE program objective.Rather, the focus is on identifying those experts capable of understanding and navigating the subtleties, intricacies and potential pitfalls inherent to end-to-end networking. To become certified as a CCIE you must pass BOTH a written qualification exam AND the corresponding hands-on lab exam in one of the CCIE tracks.
Written Exams are two-hour, multiple choice, computer-based exams available at authorized testing centers worldwide.
Lab exams are eight-hour, hands on exams that test the ability to configure and troubleshoot equipment and are offered at selected Cisco locations.
