Cisco certification track

Cisco certifications,
CCNA to CCNP

Two courses, each preparing for Cisco exams named by code and version - the 200-301 CCNA, and the ENCOR and ENARSI pair of CCNP Enterprise. Taught in Hebrew, on Cisco equipment in the academy lab in Shoham and in Cisco Modeling Labs.

How the track
is taught

Each course here is preparation for a Cisco exam named by code and version, and follows the exam topics Cisco publishes. The instructors are network engineers from the group's own teams, who hold the certifications and run networks like these day to day.

The exams themselves are booked through Pearson VUE, at a test centre or online with OnVUE, and the Cisco Learning Network carries the official exam topics and free study resources.

By code and version

200-301 CCNA v1.1, 350-401 ENCOR v1.2, 300-410 ENARSI v1.1. Every module maps to a published exam domain.

Instructors from the field

Network engineers from the group's own teams, who hold the certifications and run these networks for the group's customers.

The rack and the simulator

Cisco equipment in the academy rack in Shoham, and Packet Tracer and Cisco Modeling Labs for work between sessions.

Three years, then renew

CCNA, CCNP and CCIE are valid three years. Recertify by retaking the exam, advancing a level, or Continuing Education credits.

The Cisco ladder
and where we teach

Three levels in the enterprise track. CCNA is one exam with no prerequisites; CCNP Enterprise is the ENCOR core plus one of six concentration exams; CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure is ENCOR plus an eight-hour hands-on lab exam. We teach the first two.

  1. CCNA Associate - 200-301 Preparation at the academy
  2. CCNP Professional - 350-401 ENCOR and a concentration exam Preparation at the academy
  3. CCIE Expert - ENCOR and a hands-on lab exam

Why take Cisco
here

Written to the blueprint

The syllabus follows Cisco's published exam topics and their weights, so lab time goes where the exam puts its questions.

Hebrew in the room, English on the exam

Sessions are in Hebrew. The course materials and the exam are in English, and the terms are used the way the exam uses them.

The next step is on the same track

CCNA leads to CCNP Enterprise, and the ENCOR exam counts for CCNP and as the qualifying exam for the CCIE lab. The two courses are built in that order.

Cisco, the questions that come up

How are the exams taken?
Through Pearson VUE, in English - at a test centre or online with OnVUE proctoring. CCNA and ENCOR are 120 minutes, ENARSI is 90. Grading is pass or fail - for CCNA the result is online within 48 hours - and a failed exam can be retaken after five calendar days. Cisco publishes the fees in US dollars and accepts Cisco Learning Credits; the local price appears at booking.
How long is a certification valid?
Three years from the date it is earned. Recertify by retaking the exam, by passing a higher-level exam, or with Continuing Education credits - 30 for CCNA, 80 for CCNP, 120 for CCIE - completed before the expiry date. Credits are valid three years from the activity and are applied in the order they are earned.
What changes with CCNA v2.0?
The 200-301 CCNA v1.1 exam is the live exam until February 2, 2027; v2.0 goes live on February 3, 2027 under the same code and the same 120 minutes. Its domains are network infrastructure and connectivity 25%, switching and network access 25%, IP routing 20%, network services and security 20%, and AI with network operations and management 10%. Cisco's own advice to people studying for the current version is that there is no reason to change gears; a cohort sitting after the change is taught to v2.0.
Do I need CCNA before CCNP Enterprise?
Cisco sets no prerequisites. CCNP Enterprise is the 350-401 ENCOR core plus one of six concentration exams - advanced routing (ENARSI), Catalyst SD-WAN, design, automation, secure cloud connectivity or network assurance; the course pairs ENCOR with ENARSI. ENCOR v1.2 no longer covers wireless, which moved to Cisco's dedicated wireless track on March 19, 2026, and passing ENCOR also serves as the qualifying exam for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab.
