Cisco CCNA Service Provider training equips students with skills to configure, implement, and troubleshoot baseline service provider IP next-generation networks. While the CCNA SP certification (exams 640-875 SPNGN1 and 640-878 SPNGN2) is retired, service provider skills are now partly covered in the CCNA (200-301) and advanced in the CCNP Service Provider certification, focusing on core networking, automation and service provider technologies like MPLS, IPv6, and routing protocols.
This training is ideal for aspiring service provider network engineers, technicians, or designers with an interest in carrier-grade network infrastructures. It suits students or early-career IT professionals with basic networking knowledge looking to specialize in service provider technologies, such as those working with ISPs or telecom companies.
There are no formal prerequisites, but students should have a basic understanding of networking fundamentals and IP addressing.
The CCNA (200-301) exam is a 120-minute, pass/fail exam testing network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation/programmability. Results are available within 48 hours.
Training duration is 8 weeks.
Graduates can pursue roles like service provider network engineer, network technician, or support specialist at ISPs, telecoms, or large enterprises. The CCNA certification opens doors to entry-level roles (e.g., network administrator, $69,243 avg. salary), while CCNP Service Provider prepares you for advanced roles (e.g., network engineer, $85,822 avg. salary).
The CCNA certification is valid for three years. To maintain it you can:
- Retake the CCNA 200-301 exam.
- Earn 30 Continuing Education (CE) credits via Cisco’s CE program (e.g., courses, events).
- Pass a higher-level exam (e.g., CCNP Service Provider core exam). CCNP Service Provider also lasts three years, requiring 80 CE credits.
