Course Overview

The MEF SDN_NFV course by MEF is designed to prepare networking professionals for the MEF-SNCP (MEF-SDN/NFV Certified Professional) certification, the first ISO-standard exam validating expertise in software-defined networking and network functions virtualization. This course is ideal for roles such as network engineers, solutions architects, and operations support specialists working in service provider, vendor, or enterprise environments. With over 8,000 certified professionals globally and growing adoption across 500+ companies, the MEF-SNCP credential addresses rising industry demand for standardized skills in virtualized networking, ensuring professionals are equipped to design, deploy, and manage modern SDN and NFV infrastructures.

Participants in the MEF SDN_NFV training gain hands-on experience with key technologies including OpenDaylight, ONOS, Open vSwitch (OVS), and RESTCONF APIs, using a lab environment based on the MEF LSO Presto SDK and mininet. Students configure and manage virtualized network topologies, deploy VNFs (Virtualized Network Functions), and build end-to-end connectivity services using SDN controllers. A core project involves creating a point-to-point connectivity service across an emulated network using OpenFlow and YANG data models, simulating real-world service orchestration scenarios. These labs provide practical insight into the “Design, Deploy, Manage” framework emphasized in the MEF-SNCP exam blueprint.

By completing the MEF SDN_NFV course, learners are fully prepared to earn the MEF-SNCP certification, a globally recognized credential that validates proficiency in next-generation network architectures. Certified professionals are in high demand, with certified IT staff earning on average 10–15% higher salaries than non-certified peers. Koenig Solutions enhances preparation with official courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, and access to expert instructors for 1-on-1 support. Earning the MEF-SNCP opens pathways to advanced roles in network automation and digital transformation, positioning professionals at the forefront of the industry’s shift toward agile, orchestrated services.
