Is the Cisco CCNP worth it for you?

I you look at the Job market, you will see that Cisco Certification is still a requirement because as Jeremy Ciora Said: Many Company Just wanted to be like Cisco, so Cisco person could easily adapt to other Vendors equipment.

I have 9 years experience, Since I left the Royal Artillery (British Army) I passed my old school CCNA Switch and Router. I am currently doing my CCNP ENCOR Enterprise. To be honest I am finding the CBT Nuggets really useful. It's helpful in it helps me refresh skills I haven't used for a long time and is updating my knowledge on SDA, SD-WAN etc.. Things I have no knowledge on as I have usually worked with UK Defence sector business. They tend to have more traditional networks or air gapped networks

Is CBT Nuggets going to update the ENCOR course to fit the current exam 350-401 v1.1?

Any Cisco related cert is only good if you live in north america. In the rest of the world, all ISP and customer are migrating to Huawei so any HCIA HCIP has the same weight. (see gartner quadrant).

i bought both the books and ebooks, if you guys interested i can sell each for 11$

I hear a lot that networking certifications are not that useful today because a lot of companies are moving to the cloud and there are less and less network engineer positions. Ofc Cloud also means networking but not the same way as before.

I highly recommend the CCNP certification! It's a well known and valuable certification. Easy to find jobs with it. But the Core exam is definitely a tough one and needs experience and good preparation.

I doubled my salary after getting my first CCNP. This cert changed my life. And everytime I get a new one, my skills improve, therfore, I am more attractive to any employer.
