Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine v1.1 (300-715) Online Training

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.

IT teams complete this training to reduce access-control inconsistency and build a repeatable Cisco ISE implementation approach across enterprise networks. The course maps to practical deployment work rather than only theory.

• Standardize NAC design: Teams learn Cisco ISE architecture, deployment options, service deployment, endpoint profiling considerations, and network configuration before production rollout.
• Integrate identity sources: Engineers work through internal identities, LDAP identity stores, and native Active Directory join integration to support policy decisions.
• Deploy wired and wireless access control: Teams cover 802.1X on IOS switches, Cisco WLCs, Windows, mobile devices, desktop supplicants, Cisco IP phones, and MAB scenarios.
• Improve guest and web access workflows: Training includes Local WebAuth and Central WebAuth concepts and configuration across ISE and network access devices.
