The certification validates knowledge of Cisco collaboration infrastructure and design, protocols, endpoints, on-premises call control, voice gateways, session border controllers, cloud services, hybrid solutions, media, and Quality of Service (QoS).
To earn the CCNP Collaboration certification, candidates must pass:
