Cisco Certified Network Professional Collaboration Certification

The Cisco CCNP Collaboration certification confirms your knowledge for the integration of Unified Communication (UC) into your existing corporate network.

Overview

CCNP Collaboration certification is obtained by successfully passing the CORE Exam (preparatory course: CLCOR) and one of the CONCENTRATION Exams (preparatory courses: CLICA, CLACCM, CCLCEI, or CLAUTO). The order is not important: You can first take a CORE and then a CONCENTRATION exam or vice versa. However, a CORE exam requires more and deeper preparation, since a CORE course covers the essentials of the respective technology. In the CONCENTRATION area of each technology, more in-depth knowledge of a specialization is required.
