Course overview
thinQtank® Learning Learning is offering a unique five-day training camp for Implementing and Operating Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR). As with all of our Cisco Training Experiences - exams are delivered in the classroom.
ENCOR
The goal of this course is to develop the core networking skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and manage Enterprise wired and wireless networks. It also requires learners understand and implement security principles within the Enterprise networks and introduces learners to overlay network design by using solutions like SD-Access and SD-WAN. The course also lays focus implementing on automation and programmability in enterprise networks.
