New CCNP, CCIP, and CCDP
Certification Training Courses Available from Global Knowledge
ROUTE, SWITCH, and TSHOOT courses prepare network
engineers for new Cisco certification requirements and on-the-job
tasks
Cary (USA)/Wokingham (UK)/Cairo (Egypt) – January 25,
2010 – Global Knowledge, current Cisco Global Learning
Partner of the Year, today announced the availability of three new
courses to support major changes to Cisco’s CCNP, CCIP, and CCDP
certifications announced this week at Networkers at Cisco Live
2010. The exam and courseware changes reflect the knowledge and
skills required for today’s networking professional, with specific
focus on security and complex routing and switching, including
support for branch offices, mobile workers, and delivery of voice
services via the campus network.
"The new curriculum puts more emphasis on the actual job
tasks of a professional network engineer,” said Eric Strause,
Cisco Product Director at Global Knowledge. “As Cisco continues
to evolve its products to meet the demand for specialized skills,
we are committed to bringing training on these new requirements to
our customers quickly. With our proven ability to rapidly launch a
worldwide schedule and prime our instructors, we are ready to
deliver now.”
In ROUTE - Implementing Cisco IP Routing v1.0,
administrators of medium-to-large network sites will learn to use
advanced routing to provide scalability for Cisco routers that are
connected to LANs and WANs. Students will practice implementing
techniques in hands-on labs, learning to dramatically increase the
number of routers and sites instead of redesigning the network when
additional sites or wiring configurations are added.
In SWITCH - Implementing Cisco Switched Networks
v1.0, students will learn to plan, configure, and verify
the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions for
campus environments using the Cisco Enterprise Campus
Architecture.
TSHOOT - Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP
Networks v1.0 students will gain the skills needed to
maintain complex networks and to diagnose and resolve network
problems quickly and effectively. Students will learn
troubleshooting and maintenance procedures, and they will reinforce
the concepts by putting them to use in a controlled lab
environment.
The new ROUTE and SWITCH courses replace the BSCI and BCMSN
courses, respectively. TSHOOT is a new course made up of
approximately 70% hands-on lab scenarios focusing on
troubleshooting skills. ISCW and ONT will be withdrawn.
Global Knowledge enhances its Cisco training courses with
custom, hands-on exercises and labs designed by professionals with
real-world Cisco networking experience. Training courses for the
new CCNP, CCIP, and CCDP certifications are available in Global
Knowledge classrooms worldwide or via private on-site delivery. For
