Overview
Currently no courses can be offered for the CCNP Service Provider certification.
The CCNP Service Provider certification is obtained by successfully passing the CORE exam (preparatory course: SPCOR) and one of the CONCENTRATION Exams (preparatory courses: SPRI, SPVI or SPAUTO). The order is not important: You can take a CORE exam first 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.
