On the 19th of March, the new Cisco CCNP Wireless \ud83d\udedc will be relaunched with the exams
\u2705 WLCOR 350-101 (Core-Exam)
\u2705 WLSD 300-110\u00a0 (Design-Exam)
\u2705 WLSI 300-120 (Implementation-Exam)

It is already known that the WLSD and WLSI will be pretty much the same as ENWLSD and ENWLSI. But the WLCOR is new, and it\u2019s not yet known when study materials or training will be available.

But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t start preparing now.
Let\u2019s look at the Exam Blueprint<\/em><\/strong><\/a>:

1.0 RF Fundamentals
2.0 802.11 Technology Fundamentals

These two topics account for 25% of the exam, and nearly everything in them is covered in the CWNA training from CWNP<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.
My advice for everyone who wants to start now is to go for the CWNA first. And this is not only my advice because I am a CWNP trainer. I am a CWNP trainer because I am absolutely confident of the importance of the CWNP track for every wireless engineer.

3.0 Wireless Network Implementation
4.0 Wireless Network Operation

These topics are 10 and 20%.
To get the basics for these, I would recommend going for the following:

Successfully Configuring Catalyst 9800 Wireless on Your First Shot<\/a>
<\/em><\/strong>
Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Configuration Best Practices:
https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/td\/docs\/wireless\/controller\/9800\/technical-reference\/c9800-best-practices.html<\/em><\/strong><\/a>
https:\/\/www.ciscolive.com\/c\/dam\/r\/ciscolive\/emea\/docs\/2025\/pdf\/BRKEWN-2339.pdf<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n


It will likely not be enough for the exam, but it should give a good start.

5.0 Client Connectivity Configuration

For this 20% topic, there are lots of documents available:

Configure 802.1X Authentication on Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controller Series<\/a>
Becoming a Wi-Fi Guest Star<\/a>
<\/em><\/strong>Understanding Wireless Security
<\/em><\/strong><\/a>
The actual ENWLSD<\/em><\/strong><\/a> training will also give you lots of valuable information for the WLCOR exam. And it counts as a concentration exam for the CCNP Wireless. There is a CiscoPress book for ENWLSD and ENWLSI<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.

6.0 Wireless Monitoring and Management
7.0 Automation and AI

These last two topics are 15 and 10%, and I haven\u2019t yet found good resources to suggest. But perhaps you have some more suggestions?

With the above, you should have enough to learn until the training material is available. And you should also build your own lab and try everything by yourself.

Anything more? Yes! Make sure to visit the Cisco Learning Network<\/em><\/strong><\/a> from Learn with Cisco<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and start interacting with your learning peers:

And (if you read this early enough) register for the Webinar “Explore Cisco’s Next Era of Wireless Certifications!<\/em><\/strong><\/a>” on 21st of January from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. PST:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
