For CCNP Enterprise certification, you have to pass two exams: core exam and a concentration exam of your choice. And every concentration exam earns an individual Specialist certification, so you get recognized for your accomplishments along the way.
Core exam
The core exam Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) focuses on enterprise infrastructure including dual-stack (IPv4 & IPv6) architecture, infrastructure, security, network assurance, virtualization and automation. This exam is also the qualifying exam for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless certifications.
