For IT leaders
What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course
Service provider routing changes can create broad customer impact when teams lack a shared operating model for OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS, and segment routing. IT Directors and Network Team Leads can assign this intermediate Cisco course to network admins with roughly 3–5 years of Cisco experience who support provider-scale routing or are preparing for the 300-510 SPRI concentration exam toward CCNP Service Provider. The listed curriculum includes more than 42 hours of training before the additional skills, so this is best planned as a multi-week enablement path rather than a short refresher. It is most useful for teams standardizing advanced routing operations, troubleshooting practices, and certification readiness across service provider environments. Training Managers can structure rollout with CBT Nuggets Playlists and track progress with Team Reporting to keep adoption visible.
