overview
The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNPTM) program is comprised of four advanced levels of Cisco certification in which students learn how to install, configure, and maintain medium to large computer networks. Participants will learn about complex network configurations and how to diagnose and troubleshoot network problems. Students who successfully complete the advanced curriculum are encouraged to obtain Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNPTM) certification. The expertise you develop when preparing for the CCNPTM will add to your skill set and help you expand your professional options.
Certified Network Professional (CCNPTM) certification. The expertise you develop when preparing for the CCNPTM will add to your skill set and help you expand your professional options.
A CCNPTM can do the following:
- Implement appropriate technologies to build a scalable inter-network
- Build campus networks, improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for LANs and remote access networks
- Create and deploy an Enterprise Intranet
- Troubleshoot an environment that uses Cisco routers and switches for multiprotocol client hosts and services
- Implement network security policy via the Cisco IOS

BC provincial exams
For programs beginning in August 2007 or later which require Grade 12 Math and Science courses, BCIT will not require the applicant to write the provincial exam. Provincial exam marks will still be required for English 12, Communications 12, and Technical and Professional Communications 12.
