ENWLSD 2.0

The Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks (ENWLSD) training introduces you to concepts you need to know when planning advanced designs of Cisco wireless products. The training covers design specifics from scenario design concepts, through the installation phase, and into post-deployment validation.

This training prepares you for the ENWLSD exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Enterprise Wireless Design Specialist certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the CCNP Enterprise certification. This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
