Our take
Based on the ratings of 1,796 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
Mustafa Bin Amar's ENCOR course is a 68 hour, 165 lecture lab series for people preparing for the CCNP Enterprise exam, 350-401. The syllabus runs through ARP, VLANs, STP, EtherChannel, static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, QoS, FHRP, inter-VLAN routing and ACLs, plus a short wireless section the course itself says is not on the exam. It assumes CCNA knowledge, and about 12,370 students have joined.
Of 1,796 ratings, 973 are five stars and 574 are four. Happy reviewers say the explanations are clear, the instructor is approachable and answers questions quickly, and the notes, lab files and troubleshooting labs are useful. The complaints are consistent too. Low-star reviewers say he repeats himself, spends lab time building basic topology, and covers some topics at CCNA depth. Others mention background noise, poor auto captions, and recordings from a live class where student questions are hard to hear. A couple say topics from the CCNP book are missing.
The course was last updated in September 2026, so it's current, and the instructor describes it as updated monthly. At 68 hours it's long and the pace is slow. For someone fresh off CCNA who wants a refresher and labs to copy along with, it works. Anyone who already labs comfortably should pair it with a certification guide, since reviewers say it isn't enough on its own to pass the exam.
Pros
- Labs built in both GNS3 and EVE-NG, with notes and lab files to practice on your own
- Dedicated troubleshooting labs and real-time fault finding that reviewers single out
- Instructor repeats ideas with several examples, which helps people newer to networking
- Updated September 2026, with 165 lectures spanning OSPF, EIGRP, QoS, NAT and ACLs
Cons
- Lots of repetition and slow lab setup; critics say it leans on CCNA-level material
- Audio noise, weak auto captions and some lectures recorded from a live class with hard-to-hear questions
- Reviewers say some CCNP topics are thin or missing, so it won't cover 350-401 alone
good refresher course. The author is approachable and accommodating.
Intermediate in name, but it expects CCNA knowledge and spends a lot of time on CCNA-level basics first.

I highly recommend this course! The content is incredibly well-structured, engaging, and easy to follow. It exceeded all my expectations and provided valuable insights that I can immediately apply. Whether you are a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, this course is definitely worth your time.
By Md Shoeb on 9/15/2026
Excellent CCNP Enterprise Course with Real-Time Troubleshooting Mustafa Bin Ammar Sir explains every topic in a very clear and easy-to-understand way. His teaching style is excellent, especially for students who want to build strong networking concepts and practical skills. One of the best parts of this course is the hands-on lab practice using GNS3 and EVE-NG. Sir also provides useful notes and lab files, which makes it much easier to practice the concepts independently. I especially appreciate the real-time troubleshooting scenarios and troubleshooting labs. They help us understand how networking issues actually occur in real-world environments and how to approach them step by step. The detailed explanations of VLANs, STP, EtherChannel, IP Routing, OSPF, and other CCNP Enterprise topics are very helpful for both certification preparation and practical networking knowledge. Thank you, Mustafa Bin Ammar Sir, for sharing your knowledge and providing such valuable practical content. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for CCNP Enterprise/ENCOR or looking to improve their real-world networking skills.

It was really a nice course. Very enjoyable. I guess this really need more concentration and focus. A stand alone environment where you can really focus on the course unlike a busy working environment. I really enjoyed it because i learned about everything related to my job.

I agree that your lectures are very good because it is easy to understand. I know for some of us advance students, it can be a little frustrating when you repeat some things over and over but I know that you are thinking about people who are fairy new to networking. My only disappointment lecture 101 (Dynamic NAT). You blamed EVE-NG when is you who made the mistake. The range for the NAT was wrong (you had 200.1.1.1 to 200.1.1.5) which could not work because the first two IPs were the physical interfaces of the two routers. However, when you did it over on GNS3, you correctly changed it to you had 200.1.1.3 to 200.1.1.5. I was just wondering why you did not make the change in EVE-NG also. If you did it would of worked in EVE-NG also. EVE-NG worked fine in my lab. Also some routers creates a NAT virtual interface (NVI0) when you configure NAT. I am a little bit surprise you never saw that before.

I took so may Udemy classes, but Mustafa is one of the most incredible teachers i ever experienced in my life. his approach of teaching is beyond my expectations. this is the best CCNP class you can ever find not just on Udemy but even cisco instructors don't explain details as well as Mustafa does, he shows real life scenarios and troubleshooting that could happen in networking industry. the best part is that he repeats words often just to make sure you are understanding the problem. and trust me when i say this you'll gain experience from this class more than any other class you can imagine am so grateful that i took this class.

teaching with very soft way, and when you don't understand something or if you had a question. you will get response very quickly. just I have one notice, there are many times some of the configurations have an issue or during drawing the scheme it is possible to trim the video just to avoid time wasting.
By Andrea Panniello on 11/23/2023
This is a good course to get a global idea about basic CCNP topics, but too time spent on CCNA concepts: 3 stars because the price was 14.99 Euros and the instructor worked 66,5 hours. Some topics (about Automation, Single area OSPF, NAT, ACL, QoS, inter vlan routing and STP Theory) were explained in the same way as my ENSA and SRWE official Cisco knowledges (CCNA), but CCNP require higer level. These knoledges aren't enough to get 350-401 Certification.
By Jefry Lopez on 8/10/2023
Very Good Course! explaining everything in detail and also providing us with all the software and tools needed to practice effectively. I just didn't like the time spent creating each lab; it would have been better if he had shared each topology file in GNS3 or EVE-NG. Thank you, Mustafa!
By Ben Blair on 3/27/2023
I found this course excellent. It provides all the software tools needed to practice and hone the user skills to the content. Even if you don't take the Exam it is an excellent reference for those working with Cisco equipment. I also like that some CCNA concepts were revisited before moving onto CCNP application. In addition during the presentation of labs when things didn't work first time - following the fault finding investigations helped reinforce the learnings.
By Mohammad Hafeez on 1/26/2023
It seems 1 year back syllabus, trainer has lack of communications, lot of things CCNA subjects basics things, I am expecting, professional and expert level subject There is one concept in STP trusted and untrusted ports still not explained and not discussed Video no 77. 74 Qos Policy Lab just explained how to configure but didn't explained after apply policy how traffic prioritize Concept is not much clear
