The duration of this course is 39 hours, and it is eligible for 40 CE credits towards recertification.
The Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) training gives you the knowledge and skills you need to design an enterprise network. This training serves as a deep dive into enterprise network design and expands on the topics covered in the Implementing and Operating Cisco® Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) training.
This training prepares you for the 300-420 ENSLD v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Design certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise certification.
