Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR). Leading to exam 350-501 . ALSO Remote or on-site

The Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) course teaches you how to configure, verify, troubleshoot, and optimize next-generation, Service Provider IP network infrastructures. It provides a deep dive into Service Provider technologies including core architecture, services, networking, automation, quality of services, security, and network assurance.

Please note that this course is a combination of Instructor-Led and Self-Paced Study - 5 days in the classroom and approx 3 days of self study. The self-study content will be provided as part of the digital courseware that you will recieve at the beginning of the course and should be part of your preparation for the exam.
