CCNP ENARSI FAQs
Common questions about the CCNP ENARSI (300-410) course at Sama Tech Institute Kenya.
While Cisco doesn't require you to pass ENCOR before taking ENARSI, we strongly recommend completing ENCOR first. Here's why:
- Foundation knowledge: ENCOR covers core enterprise networking concepts that ENARSI builds upon. Without this foundation, ENARSI topics will be much more difficult.
- Logical progression: ENCOR teaches you the "what" and "why" of enterprise networking, while ENARSI teaches you the advanced "how."
- Better exam performance: Students who complete ENCOR first have a 98% pass rate on ENARSI, compared to 75% for those who skip ENCOR.
- Bundle discount: When you take both courses together, you save 15% (KES 12,000 savings).
CCNP Enterprise requires one core exam (ENCOR) plus one concentration exam. You can choose from several concentration exams:
- ENARSI (300-410): Advanced routing and services. Focuses on BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, VPNs, and automation. Most popular choice for network engineers.
