HOW TO get your CCNP in 2020 (no CCNA required)

[@NetworkChuck]

Get started with the NEW CCNP ENCOR: ➡️bit.ly/ccnp-cbt Which CCNP track are you going down? Which concentration exams are you excited about?

[@alyfraga9923]

NetworkChuck thank you for sharing!! I have a question: In this moment I’m studying for the ccna 200-125 and I want to take it in the next 2 weeks and my question is: Are the same exam objectives maintained, because I know that everything will change after February?

[@NetworkChuck]

@@alyfraga9923 CCNA will be 60-70% the same after Feb 2020. Some stuff is taken away, while some Security, Wireless and Automation topics are added. GOOD LUCK!

[@nkecskes]

The Ccnp that I will be going for will be security in 2020. Studying for ccna and going to college, enjoying both.

[@hassantariq8847]

In 2019, will go for ccda and ccna sec. In 2020, Ccnp Enterprise for advanced routing and switching plus automation - python scripting And in parallel will go for MCSA servers Is it a good path ?

[@MikeBolitho]

I already have my R&S and I'm going to renew in December to give me more time. After that, I'll be taking ENAUTO for sure. Then maybe ENSLD or ENWLSI.

Hi chuck, when i saw your vid back in July 2019, i was studying CCNP for a couple of month/years! It was the kick in my ass and a sign to to hurry up...8 months later 11.February 2020 i've done the Tshoot and was CCNP...!!! on the 25.February i receive my CCNP Enterprise and the Specialist Certs! Chuck thanks so much for your mental support and the motivation speech that i get from your vid! Cheers Bro (Raffa from Switzerland)

Hey Chuck just wanted to say thank you!!! Got my ccent last week after using the study materials you suggested. Studied for 4 months did not feel ready quite ready for the exam but i had it scheduled, showed up and took it and now I have my ccent working on that ccna before it gets changed in February.

[@jeffwiley7065]

I had just started studying for the Route exam when I heard about the changes. Figured I might as well wait until new exams start. I don't think I can pass all 3 exams by Feb. Now with a change at work. We are switch from a 100% Cisco to 100% Meraki. I'm thinking of looking into their exams when they come out in the fall. After that then switch back to CCNP plans. Thanks for your video. Now I have a better understanding of the changes and why they were made.

[@renrieu]

After watching this I think that I am one of those that are very excited about it... I did the CCNA many years ago and was working towards recertification, but illness got in the way and I couldn't do it before the course changed, but now I'm thinking what a blessing because now I can look at the CCNP route and choose the flavour of professional that I want to be, what I'm interested in and that's so much more interesting than having to study something because that's what you have to do to get the qualification, I can be individual at the specialist level, but still have that core knowledge required... AWESOME!!!

[@cnealmartin]

When the new CCNP test came out (current version in 2019) I crushed all 3 of them. I moved up fast to the engineer level. Fast forward 3 years later with much design, config and install experience. I failed the Switch test to recert. I studied my a$$ off. Clearly I know more about route-switch now with my advanced experience in the field. Got a feeling it will be the case with the new test. Testing is one thing. Actually installing in live production environment, with a makes sense logical manor are two different things.

Very great and informative video. Did CCNA a long time and i can't contemplate going over it again before doing CCNP. Now this is great news for me. I am diving right into it. Just printed out the exam topics for Automation. I am searching the topics through the net while i wait for the official study materials. Really chasing this one. Thanks a lot

[@thisduderockz]

I absolutely love how passionate and enthusiastic you are for these technologies and topics. You inspire and invigorate me to build the mindset that it is possible. With hardwork, actual hard work it is all possible. With that being said i have to admit, I struggle with myself. Always feeling that i'll never be adequate enough. What i mean by that is, I get lost in a haze of the all encompassing world of these different technologies and certifications and paths to take... I'm ultimately hoping that the path im on now will lead to a job i love and can make a living from. It sometimes seems like just a pipe dream. But in the meantime, the present day I know that i just gotta stay focused. It all just seems so out of reach sometimes. i might've went a little deeper in this comment then i should have... but I thank you for your enthusiasm and passion; it helps so much.

[@Mannschafft]

Hey Chuck! I'm working on my CCNP actually. After that, I'll take a break then go for the automation track. Maybe after I'll dive into the Collaboration World. I'm always fascinated by those devices in the background. ^^ The video's length is good by the way. Keep on inspiring and motivate us.

[@scotmaciver]

I’ve had a CCNA and went to CCSP when they had it. All my stuff is expired and the exact reason I don’t get any more certifications is because I have to go back and get my CCNA. I’ve been a network engineer 15 years now so I really don’t need any certifications but I would like to get a CCNP at times but having to start over pretty much ruins it for me. This may help people in my situation but for newcomers I highly suggest getting the CCNA first.

[@zxr03jt]

Same here.. CCNA R&S cert'd at Cisco Live in San Diego 4yrs ago, failed the CCNP by skin of my teeth right before NA exp'd. Been in networking for 20+yrs and don't really need it so not re-certifying anymore. On top of that the exams are far too expensive anymore.

[@scotmaciver]

Trent McKee Trent McKee interesting. Sounds familiar. One thing that does interest me is the new CCNA stuff with programming and SDN or whatever. What do you think about that path and where things seem to be headed? I’ve been working in Azure and designed a pretty cool redundant VPN solution between or HQ and DR site and kinda playing with Python a little. Kind of interested in the API stuff but kinda lost on it all as a whole lol. What do you think about that side of things?

[@flex_-cs1.6fromwayback]

I did my ccna in 2013 I've been trying to get my ccnp my ccna expired but now I think all I need is the knowledge of the new one I wasn;'t able to do ccnp in since 2013 had some hard times but this is amazing now without a ccna I can do ccnp or just go straight for CCIE that is amazing I love it the only reason I can't go for ccie though unless a company pay for it. But this is nice I am going for the CCNP now since I am at home and studying since this covid situation gives me a chance to do it.

[@stephenparrott2932]

Totally in the same ball park for me. Had R&S CCNA for ages but now i`ll just read some notes on the changes on the CCNA but study and take the CCNP. Makes much more sense.

[@scotmaciver]

@@stephenparrott2932 You know what's funny? I said that but just ordered my new CCNA books that will be here tomorrow. The only reason is because the 2nd book has all the updated material leading into automation and all that stuff which I'd like to get a start on. Since the COR book for CCNP security is delayed apparently, figured go ahead and get the CCNA stuff. Company pays anyway.

[@tonioyendis4464]

When my CCNP expired, the main reason i didn’t renew was that it was a requirement to go all the way back and take the CCNA track all over again too. That never made sense to me and seemed like just a way for Cisco to make more money, so i never renewed. Now i can just take the CCNP and renew!

[@russbramley1270]

I understand the skip in needing CCNA for CCNP, Im currently at CCNA, my next step is CCNP, its natural for me only having 4 years in industry to folow the ladder structure. My colleague however has ten + years XP and has had his CCNA expire years ago, but he's a more than capable CCNP and beyond engineer.. So this makes sense for him to go straight into CCNP, I think if any new network engineer skips CCNA and goes straight into CCNP they will stunt rather than grow their skillsets Im looking forward to getting stuck into 350-401 ENCOR as soon as the material is released here in the UK

[@seanknight9808]

When you said the CCNP is greater than a 4-year degree, you are probably right about that! I studied for seven months everyday for my CCNA and finally took the exam last night. I think the CCNA is equivalent to a 4-year degree. If not, it is equivalent to a 2-year associates degree. The amount of material in that is amazing! I can't wait to see what the CCNP is like. Do you need to get practical experience as a Cisco engineer first before getting a CCNP? Or I can study for it right now?

[@wayneswanson3294]

Thanks, Chuck! Had the SWITCH exam down, couldn't get ROUTE out of the way before 2/23. Reviewing the CCNA before studying for ENCOR. One of the problems I've had with studying is that there's frequently subject matter gaps between what's published (Cough, Cisco Press) as the "official certification guide", and what's on the test, and for some exams (Collaboration), what's on the test is a bunch of material that's out of date (old revs of software) or version specific, and just rote memorization of things that, outside of having one in production, you have no access to the menu tree. Some of those just seemed to be schemes to have people attend Cisco classes at employer expense, which few of us can afford privately. Attempted the collab NA exam, once, and while the study material was mostly worth while, got disgusted at the exam's irrelevance to the skills necessary to do that role. I'm hoping that, like the goals of the new CCNA, that bringing the exams back to relevancy is in the works.

May swing over and do automation as well. Still not 100%. Lot of material to cover.

So, I may be one of few who are not so hyped (maybe because I have only CCNA now). Python, Automation is a totally new planet for people like me.

About the green screen when drawing - you can just use a black BG and select the "screen" blending mode when overlaying the videos.

Oh I found my best approach on Cisco’s “CCNP Routing & Switching Migration Tool” page... pass ROUTE 300-101 and SWITCH 300-115 before 2/24, then I can take ENAUTO 300-435 after 2/23 for the CCNP Enterprise plus the DevNet cert.

I think the main problem with all of this is that companies are slashing headcount left and right in the ISP industry right now and with cell companies too.

I've been saying it for the last three years. If you don't know how to use automation tools like Ansiblel, YANG, Netmiko, etc and if you can't write decent Python then you're going to get left behind. I would say there's about 10 years left for you if you're not on board. The new exams are going to be a huge barrier to entry and a road block to a lot of people in the industry. People really need to stop ignoring automation and they need to embrace it.
