CCNP ENARSI - Cisco Certified Network Professional Training & Certification

Cisco CCNP ENARSI Training & Certification Near Washington, DC

TrainACE offers instructor-led Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI) training live online, with official Cisco courseware and an exam voucher. This five-day course is built for network engineers who are ready to go deep on advanced routing protocols, MPLS VPNs, BGP, and enterprise infrastructure security — and who need a training provider that can match that technical depth in the classroom.

ENARSI (exam code 300-410) is a Cisco concentration exam that expands on the enterprise core technologies covered in ENCOR. Passing it earns the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation certification and satisfies the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise credential.

This is an advanced course. Candidates who have not yet built a solid foundation in enterprise routing, switching, and BGP fundamentals will find the pace demanding. If you are still working toward that foundation, our advisors can help you identify the right first step.

Quick decision snapshot

• Best for: Network engineers, systems engineers, and network administrators pursuing CCNP Enterprise or the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation credential.
• Why employers care: CCNP Enterprise and its associated specialist certifications are the professional-level markers Cisco hiring teams and enterprise network employers use to evaluate routing and infrastructure expertise.
• What TrainACE includes: Five days of instructor-led training, official Cisco courseware, and exam voucher.

 

Why Choose TrainACE for ENARSI Training?

At the CCNP level, what separates providers is not access to the same Cisco curriculum — it is the depth of instruction, the quality of hands-on lab work, and the ability to answer the kind of questions that only come from experience in real enterprise environments. We have worked with Interone for many years and can assure their quality.

• Authorized Cisco Learning Partner: Our training is through an authorized Cisco Learning Partner, which means our curriculum, labs, and instructors meet Cisco's standards for delivering official CCNP-track training.
• Instructors with real credentials: ENARSI covers material that requires instructors who have worked in enterprise environments, not just passed exams.
• Small class sizes: Enrollment is capped so every student gets direct instructor attention during labs and technical discussion.
• Lifetime Career Support: TrainACE graduates retain access to Skills Clinics, Study Groups, and Career Path Recommendations after class ends.

The Caliber of Instructor You Can Expect

All instructors hold active certifications in the subjects they teach and have a minimum of three years of classroom experience. For an advanced course like ENARSI, technical depth and real-world network engineering experience matter as much as teaching skill.

ENARSI Prerequisites

There are no mandatory formal prerequisites for the 300-410 ENARSI exam. However, Cisco and TrainACE both recommend that candidates arrive with a strong working knowledge of enterprise routing fundamentals, including EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, and general infrastructure security concepts. Candidates who have completed CCNA or ENCOR training, or who have equivalent hands-on networking experience, are typically well-positioned for the pace and depth of this course.

ENARSI is a concentration exam, not a standalone credential path. If your goal is the full CCNP Enterprise certification, you will also need to pass the ENCOR core exam (350-401). Our advisors can help you sequence your training correctly.

You are likely a strong fit if you

• Already work as a network engineer, network administrator, or systems engineer in an enterprise environment
• Have completed CCNA or the ENCOR training and are ready to move into CCNP concentration territory
• Need the ENARSI concentration exam to complete your CCNP Enterprise certification
• Are pursuing the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation credential

You may need a different first step if you

• Are new to enterprise routing and have not yet built foundational knowledge in EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP
• Have not yet completed CCNA-level training or equivalent hands-on routing experience

ENARSI Exam Details

Current exam code: 300-410 ENARSI v1.1

• Time limit: 90 minutes
• Passing score: Cisco does not publish a passing score threshold — see note below
• Format: Multiple choice, drag-and-drop, and simulation-based questions
• Exam voucher included: Yes — included in TrainACE's enrollment price
• Continuing Education credits: 40 Cisco CE credits toward recertification

Cisco does not publicly disclose passing score thresholds for its certification exams. For official guidance on scoring, refer to Cisco's exam information pages directly. Simulation-based questions are one of the most important reasons to choose hands-on, lab-focused training — these questions test whether you can configure and troubleshoot in a simulated network environment, not just recall definitions.

Passing this exam earns the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation certification and satisfies the concentration requirement for CCNP Enterprise when combined with the ENCOR core exam.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the ENARSI training?

The ENARSI course runs for five days of instructor-led training, typically Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5pm. Both in-person and live-online formats are available. Ask an advisor about weekend session availability if weekday scheduling is not practical for you.

Is this the right level for me?

ENARSI is an advanced course aimed at working network engineers and administrators. If you are comfortable with CCNA-level routing and switching concepts and have hands-on experience in enterprise environments, you are likely ready. If you are still building foundational networking skills, completing CCNA or TrainACE's ENCOR training first will put you in a much stronger position before taking this course.

Do I need ENCOR before taking ENARSI?

ENCOR is not a formal prerequisite for ENARSI, but it is the core exam for CCNP Enterprise. If your goal is the full CCNP Enterprise certification, you will need both ENCOR and a concentration exam like ENARSI. Some candidates take ENARSI first to earn the Specialist credential, then complete ENCOR separately. Our advisors can help you sequence your path correctly.

What is TrainACE's pass rate?

We do not publish a pass rate figure, and you should be skeptical of any training provider that does. Cisco certification exams are taken independently through Pearson VUE testing centers, so providers cannot reliably track student outcomes at scale. What we can stand behind is the quality of instruction, and the hands-on lab environment.

Do I need special equipment or software?

No special equipment purchases are required. For live-online attendance, you will need a reliable internet connection and a computer capable of running the required course tools and remote lab access.

Does ENARSI qualify for Cisco Continuing Education credits?

Yes. Completing ENARSI training qualifies for 40 Cisco CE credits toward recertification, which can be applied to maintaining an active Cisco certification.

Where Does ENARSI Take You Next?

ENARSI is a concentration milestone, not a destination. Most TrainACE students who complete it go on to one of three next-stage tracks depending on their certification goals and career direction.

• Cisco ENCOR – Enterprise Network Core Technologies
  If you have not yet passed the ENCOR core exam, completing it alongside ENARSI earns you the full CCNP Enterprise certification — the most recognized professional-level credential in enterprise networking.
• Cisco SDWOTS (SD-WAN Operations, Troubleshooting & Best Practice)
  Our Cisco SD-WAN Operations, Troubleshooting and Best Practices (SDWOTS) class is five-day, instructor led class where we will teach you the process of designing, configuring and operating a Cisco SD-WAN utilizing any transport.
• Cisco SDAOTS (Software-Defined Access)
  Cisco's SDA provides zero-trust capabilities to streamline user and device access while mitigating risks posed by unknown IoT devices. Understanding how to implement, configure, and troubleshoot the SDA solution will advance your Cisco skills, opening new opportunities.
