To earn a CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional):

The CCNP curriculum provides the knowledge and skills necessary to deploy and maintain fully integrated network infrastructure services and applications. The curriculum focuses on the advanced skills required to manage the end-to-end network infrastructure but goes beyond core routing and switching to include applications deployed on the edge of the network, such as wireless, security and voice. It includes topics such as converged networks, quality of service (QoS), virtual private networks (VPNs) and broadband technologies. CCNP integrates next-generation network devices and services engineered to provide wire-speed delivery of concurrent data, voice, video and wireless services with optimized security.

The CCNP curriculum includes four courses that align to the four certification exams that are required to obtain the CCNP certification. The four courses are: Building Scalable Internets, Implementing Secure Converged Wide-Area Networks, Building Multilayer Switched Networks, and Optimizing Converged Networks.
