A current guide to the CCNP Enterprise path, including 350-401 ENCOR, Pearson VUE scheduling, Enterprise Core specialist credit, and the required concentration exam choice.
CCNP Enterprise combines one broad core exam with one concentration exam. Preparation should start with ENCOR fundamentals and then narrow into the concentration that best matches the candidate's role or next Cisco goal.
Use these points before choosing an Enterprise concentration or scheduling ENCOR.
Cisco CCNP Enterprise requires one core exam and one eligible concentration exam.
The core exam is 350-401 ENCOR, Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies.
Cisco lists ENCOR as a 120-minute Pearson VUE exam in English and Japanese.
ENCOR covers dual-stack architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation.
Passing ENCOR earns the Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core certification.
The concentration exam lets candidates specialize in advanced routing, SD-WAN, wireless, design, automation, or another current Enterprise track.
ENCOR is the required CCNP Enterprise core exam. It covers the broad enterprise foundation that concentration exams build on, including architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, assurance, security, and automation.
Cisco lets CCNP Enterprise candidates choose a concentration exam. Pick the track that matches current work or career direction, such as advanced routing, SD-WAN, wireless, enterprise design, or automation.
Passing ENCOR earns the Enterprise Core specialist credential and can also satisfy the core exam requirement for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless.
Treat CCNP Enterprise as two separate exam projects: first ENCOR, then the concentration. Each needs its own blueprint review, hands-on practice, and Pearson VUE scheduling check.
