CCNP Service Provider Course overview
Octa Networks, India’s number one and best Cisco training center located in Mumbai, offers onsite and online CCNP Service Provider training to candidates worldwide. We are one of the pioneers in India providing high-end quality Service Provider Training and Boot camps in our 24x7 physical lab setup. Our CCNP Service Provider Racks are fully equipped with physical devices as per latest Cisco CCNP Collab exam blueprints.
CCNP Service Provider means using new technologies to make our networks better. By getting this certification, you show that you can set up, check, and make the most of modern service provider IP networks. You'll learn about core architecture, services, networking, automation, QoS, security, and network assurance through the SPCOR exam. After that, you can pick a concentration exam to prove your specialized skills. Once you pass both exams, you'll earn your CCNP Service Provider certification.
Our modular CCNP Service Provider training programs aimed at catering to various technological needs and demands of the individuals and the industry. We have successfully helped a large number of students to achieve their Cisco certification goals in the last 10+ years. Octa Networks means guaranteed technical training which ultimately leads to Cisco certifications.
To achieve new CCNP SP certification, the candidate will have to pass not more than 2 exams. Any additional specializations are most welcome but the candidate needs to pass a core exam and one of the concentration exam options available in the respective track. Besides the CCNP Service Provider, core exam also acts as qualifying criteria for attempting the CCIE Service Provider lab exam.
CCNA is no longer a qualifying criterion for attempting CCNP Service Provider. Candidates can straight away appear for CCNP Service Provider examinations provided they have the necessary knowledge and grasp of the practical application of the know-how.
To earn CCNP Service Provider certification, candidates need to pass core exam which covers core service provider technology and one concentration exam of his/her choice based on his/her technical area of focus or job role requirement.
CCNP Service Provider Core exam:
- 350-501 - Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR v1.0)

Frequently Asked Question
You need to pass one core exam and one of the concentration exam from the options available in the same certification track to achieve your CCNP Service Provider certificate.
Yes. The same technology core exam 300-501 (SPCOR) will serve as the core examfor the CCNPService Provider and CCIE Service Providercertification in the respective technology track.
In the revamped structure, if you pass core exam and one concentration exam in the same technology track, you can achieve your CCNP certification. CCNP has five tracks as of now (Enterprise, Data Center, Service Provider, Security and Collaboration). Each track has one specific core exam and a number of concentration exam choices.CCNP Service Provider has 3 concentration exam options. CCNP Security has 6 concentration exam options. CCNP Collaboration has 4 concentration exam choices. CCNP Enterprise has 6 concentration exam options. CCNP Data Center has 5 concentration exam options.
Once you clear the technology core exam, you can clear the CCNP exam within 3 years of passing the qualifying technology core exam to get the CCNP certificate
Having CCNA certificate is not necessary before appearing for the CCNP technology core exam and or the concentration exam. You can directly appear for technology core exam or any concentration exam provided necessary concepts and knowledge of the exam topics are understood clearly.
All the current certificates will be valid for the full three years from the date of certification. If you achieve CCNP Service Providercertification before 23rd Feb 2020, you will get the fournew corresponding certificates which will have the same validity as that of your original certificate. You will get CCNP Service Provider certificate and three more certificates. certificates are:
- Cisco Certified Specialist –Service Provider Core
- Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Advanced Routing Implementation
- Cisco Certified Specialist –Service Provider VPN services Implementation
If your CCNP Service Provideris incomplete on or before 23rd Feb 2020, following are the migration scenarios. Current CCNP Service Provider certification consists of four exams SPCORE (642-887), SPROUTE (642-883), ADVROUTE (642-885) and SPEDGE (642-889).
If you have cleared any one of the SPCORE (642-887), SPROUTE (642-883) examinations only, then you need to clear new Core exam (300-501 SPCOR) andone of the concentration exams out of the three options to get the new CCNP Service Provider certificate.
If you have cleared both SPCORE (642-887), SPROUTE (642-883), you will get Cisco Specialist Certificate – Service Provider Core. You will need to clear any one of the three concentration exams to receive CCNP Service Provider certificate.
If you have cleared SPCORE (642-887), SPROUTE (642-883) and ADVROUTE (642-885), you will receive the new CCNP Service Provider certificate and two Cisco Specialist certificates (Service Provider Core and Service Provider Advanced Routing Implementation).
For every exam cleared before 23rd Feb 2020, you will receive corresponding Cisco Certified Specialist certification. Following are the details:
- SPEDGE (642-889) - Cisco Certified Specialist –Service Provider VPN Services Implementation
- ADVROUTE (642-885) - Cisco Certified Specialist –Service Provider Advanced Routing Implementation
SPCORE (642-887) and SPROUTE (642-883) – Cisco Certified Specialist – Service Provider Core
The duration of course depends on the batch you select. Regular (Mon – Fri) classroom training spans over the period of 2 Months or 3 Hours / Days.
