CCNP Collaboration Bootcamp
This course prepares you for the CLCOR 350-801 core and CLACC 300-815 concentration exams that make up CCNP Collaboration, on the v2.0 blueprints Cisco introduced on February 3, 2026 with an even split between on-premises and cloud content. You build dial plans, gateways and Expressway edges by hand and troubleshoot them with real SIP traces.
CCNP Collaboration = 1 core exam + 1 concentration. This course covers CLACC (advanced call control). Other concentrations that count: 300-820 CLHCT (hybrid and cloud) and 300-830 CLCCE (Webex Contact Center).
