Requirements

Although Cisco doesn't list any formal prerequisites for CBROPS on their website, you'll gain a better understanding of the topics discussed if you have foundational knowledge in computer networks. You don't necessarily need to be certified in CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCST Networking, Cisco CCST Cybersecurity, nor Cisco CCNA, but it does help to have that knowledge.
