Course Content
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. This course also helps you prepare to take the 350-501
Implementing and Operating Cisco® Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR)
exam, which is part of the CCNP® Service Provider certification and the Cisco Certified
Specialist – Service Provider Core certification.
This course also earns you 64 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification..
