Certification
Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies v1.0 (ENCOR 300-401) is a 120-minute exam associated with the CCNP Enterprise, CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure, CCIE Enterprise Wireless and Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Core certifications. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge of implementing core enterprise network technologies, including dual-stack architecture (IPv4 and IPv6), virtualization, infrastructure, network security, security and automation. This course optimally prepares you for the exam. 

Recertification
After three years, recertification through CEP points (Continuous Learning Program) or completion of the corresponding examination is required.
