Implementing Cisco Switched Networks (SWITCH)
Implementing Cisco Switched Networks (SWITCH)is a five-day instructor-led training course, designed to help students prepare to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions for campus environments using the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture. These skills are validated in the Cisco CCNP® Routing and Switching certification, a professional-level certification specializing in the routing and switching field. This course is a component of the Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching curriculum. This course is designed to give students a firm understanding of how to manage switches in an enterprise campus environment. This training class reinforces the instruction by providing students with hands-on labs
The CTCLC Difference
Current Technologies Computer Learning Center uses REAL CISCO EQUIPMENT for our labs. Our certified instructors will help guide you to a sucessful completion of your training. Our Instructors are CCIE, CCNP, CCIP, CCVP, and CCSP qualified. CTCLC has convenient day or night schedules to fit your needs. We can also do onsite classes with our top notch portable labs. In our Cisco courses, EVERY STUDENT HAS THEIR OWN POD OF CISCO EQUIPMENT. Students do not share equipment. Our instructors are the very best and give 110% to their Students. We care about every student we train and we have a free resit policy for all of our courses for the same revision. You will not find a better training experience anywhere. Current Technologies Computer Learning Center is Cisco Learning Partner, Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS), CompTIA Learning Alliance Member, EC-Council Accredited Training Center, and many others.
