The Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) training expands your knowledge and skills of service provider core networks. You will gain the theoretical and practical knowledge needed to implement and operate service provider networks using technologies such as core architecture, services, networking, automation, quality of service (QoS), security, and network assurance.

This training prepares you for the 350-501 SPCOR v1.0 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Core certification and satisfy the core exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Service Provider and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Service Provider certifications. This training also earns you 64 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
