What about CCNP?

Cisco Certified Network Professional

Module 01 Routing
Module 02 Switching
Module 03 Trouble Shooting

“The Professional level is an advanced level of certification that shows more expertise with networking skills. Each certification covers a different technology to meet the needs of varying job roles” If you continue to study up to CCNP level your networking ability hits up to a level where you can manage a network equipped with 101 to 1000 routers, which is called as a medium network
