Overview
CCNP Enterprise certification is obtained by successfully passing the CORE Exam (preparatory course: ENCOR) and one of the CONCENTRATION Exams (preparatory courses: ENARSI, SDWAN, ENSLD, ENWLSD, ENWLSI or ENAUTO). The order is irrelevant: 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.
