For IT leaders
What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course
Organizations standardizing Cisco ISE need consistent access control across users, endpoints, guests, wired networks, wireless networks, and network devices. This intermediate, professional-level course fits network security engineers with roughly 3–5 years of enterprise security experience, plus experienced Team Leads who need a shared implementation baseline for Cisco ISE and the 300-715 SISE exam path.
The course is a substantial assignment: listed modules run about 45–96 minutes each and cover 90+ skills, so IT Directors should plan it as a multi-week enablement track rather than a one-time onboarding session. It is most relevant for teams responsible for NAC, 802.1X, AAA, AD/LDAP integration, guest access, endpoint identity, and Cisco device configuration.
For change management, assign modules in phases: ISE architecture and deployment first, then identities and policy workflow, then wired/wireless 802.1X, MAB, WebAuth, and endpoint use cases. CBT Nuggets Playlists can sequence those phases, and Team Reporting helps Training Managers track completion across the team.
