The Cisco and Microsoft partnership dates back 10 years, providing tools and technologies for success. Cisco, as well and Microsoft, offers highly sought certifications. Kaplan Continuing Education (KCE) offers programs designed to help prepare students for both Cisco and Microsoft certification testing. Our Cisco and Microsoft courses could also help facilitate IT career advancement.*
One of the most coveted certifications is the Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP). KCE’s CCDP Certificate program is designed to provide students with sophisticated knowledge of Cisco network design. Graduates could perform advanced Cisco network design in complex, multilayered enterprise architectures and wireless domains, virtual private networking, and advanced routing and addressing. The program is also designed to help individuals prepare to sit for the CCDP certification, a midlevel professional certification for network design professionals.† This 6-month, online program covers the implementation of EIGRP operations, multiarea OSPF operations, integrating IS-IS, implementing Cisco IOS routing features, implementing BGP for enterprise ISP connectivity, implementing multicast forwarding and IPv6, implementing VLANs, and spanning tree protocols in a hierarchical network. The program also covers implementing inter-VLAN routing, implementing gateway redundancy technologies, configuring wireless client access, configuring security features in a switched network, configuring support for voice, and designing advanced core enterprise networks, an enterprise data center, and security devices.
* Kaplan Continuing Education's (KCE) programs are designed to prepare graduates to pursue employment in their field of study, or in related fields. However, KCE does not guarantee that graduates will be placed in any particular job or employed at all.
†Although certain Kaplan Continuing Education (KCE) programs are designed to prepare students to take various certification or licensing exams, KCE cannot guarantee the student will pass those exams. In some cases, field experience and/or background checks may be necessary to be eligible to take or to successfully pass the exams. Understanding the requirements of certification, state board, or national board licensing exams is the individual student’s responsibility.
