About this course

What the Cisco 350-401: Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) (CCNP) course covers

Cisco 350-401: Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) (CCNP) runs online from start to finish, so you decide when you study and how much you cover at a time. Budget roughly 8 hours for the 6 modules, less if the subject is already familiar. The 12 months of access matter more than they sound: refresher reading before an inspection or an appraisal is free.

There are no entry requirements, and it is pitched at people who need the subject for work rather than at exam candidates. We list 12 Networking & Cisco courses, of which 7 sit at Professional development. You finish with a certificate of completion you can download immediately. It evidences the training rather than being an Ofqual-recognised qualification.

The honest caveats: There is no CPD accreditation attached, which matters only if somebody has specifically asked you for it.

Buyer guide

Is this the right course for you?

Best fit

Cisco 350-401: Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) (CCNP) is a sensible shortlist choice when you want a structured route through the published syllabus rather than a general overview of the whole subject. Its 6-module plan starts with Architecture and Virtualization, which gives you a clear indication of the assumed starting point. That shape is likely to be most useful for network technicians and IT staff working towards a networking exam whose training need matches those topics. It is a weaker fit if you only need one isolated skill, or if an employer has specified a different standard, awarding body or practical assessment. Before buying, compare that requirement with the final modules on Security and Automation as well as the course title.

How to use the syllabus

Treat the module list as a study plan, not just a contents page. Begin with Architecture and Virtualization and note any terms or processes you need to revisit. Around the middle, Infrastructure acts as a useful checkpoint: if you can explain that material without looking back, move on; if not, repeat the preceding section before adding more. The later work on Security and Automation is where you can test whether the earlier ideas connect. After each block, write a short example from your own work or a realistic scenario. That simple retrieval step makes self-paced learning more useful than clicking straight through to completion.

Check before enrolling

The listed study time is 8 hours; reserve more time if the subject is new to you or you plan to make detailed notes. Access is listed for 12 months, so set a completion date comfortably before the login ends. A downloadable or printable completion certificate is described, but it records course completion rather than replacing a regulated qualification. No CPD accreditation is stated. That is fine for skills development, but not when a workplace policy specifically requires accredited training.

Full course details from the training provider

Anthony Sequeira will provide students with the knowledge necessary to pass the Cisco 350-401 ENCOR certification exam. The course will teach students about implementing Cisco Enterprise network core technologies and is intended for those interested in learning advanced Enterprise technologies using Cisco Systems equipment.

The ultimate goal is to obtain the CCNP Enterprise certification, but students will also obtain valuable on-the-job IT skills. Once you pass the ENCOR exam, you will then be qualified to sit for the CCIE Enterprise practical lab exam.

Topics covered in this Cisco IT training course:

  • Common architecture designs including high availability, WLANs, on-premise versus Cloud, QoS, SD-Access, SD-WAN, and hardware architectures
