CLICA Training for Your Team — Implementing Cisco Collaboration Applications
Call control gets the architecture diagrams; the applications on top of it get the tickets. Voicemail that stopped syncing to email, presence that shows everyone offline, a soft client that refuses to sign in on exactly one subnet — the applications layer of a collaboration platform generates a disproportionate share of support load because it sits at the intersection of call control, directories and the mail system. CLICA (Implementing Cisco Collaboration Applications) trains engineers to own that layer deliberately: voicemail and unified messaging, instant messaging and presence, client services, and the compliance machinery around them.
The course prepares for exam 300-810 CLICA, a CCNP Collaboration concentration — paired with the 350-801 core it completes the certification. It is the natural pick for teams whose estate is application-heavy rather than routing-heavy.
We organize delivery through authorized partners and vetted instructors — live online in your time zone, on site, or as a private group weighted toward the applications your users actually complain about.
Who this course is for
- UC engineers who own the applications layer on top of call control
- Administrators responsible for voicemail and messaging platforms day to day
- CCNP Collaboration candidates choosing the applications concentration
- Support teams escalated every messaging and presence ticket by default
What your team will learn
Topic areas below are grouped in our own words. The full official agenda is available on request — it comes from the authorized partner as part of your quote.
- Voicemail architecture with Unity Connection — well beyond the default greeting
- Single inbox: voicemail and email living in one place without a support queue
- Instant messaging and presence that actually reflects whether people are there
- Soft clients: sign-in, service discovery, and the ways both go wrong
- Compliance, archiving and retention where regulators expect them
- Troubleshooting the applications layer: when the call works but the voicemail does not

CLICA vs alternatives: which to choose
Factual criteria only — level, duration, audience and certification. The right choice depends on your team's starting point and stack.
Cisco CLCOR (Collaboration Core)
The prerequisite core: call control, dial plans, endpoints and QoS, mapped to exam 350-801. Take CLCOR first — CLICA assumes the platform underneath works and spends its five days on the application services running on top of it.
Cisco CLACCM (Advanced Call Control and Mobility)
The alternative concentration, focused on advanced routing, multi-site dial plans and mobility. Choose CLACCM if your pain is call routing at scale; CLICA if it is voicemail, messaging and presence. Either exam completes CCNP Collaboration alongside 350-801.
A custom intensive
If the project is one specific migration — say, consolidating voicemail platforms or fixing a troubled presence deployment — a custom 2–3 day program on our materials covers that scope without the full concentration curriculum.
Need only part of CLICA?
If your team needs a subset of this program — or a mix of topics from several courses — we build a custom 2–4 day intensive on our own materials, shaped by your infrastructure. One custom program typically replaces 2–3 catalog courses.

Where does CLICA fit in the CCNP Collaboration path?
CLICA is a concentration course preparing for exam 300-810. Combined with the core exam 350-801 (the CLCOR course), it completes the CCNP Collaboration certification. Teams usually take CLCOR first and choose the concentration that matches their estate.
Which applications does the course actually cover?
The applications layer of a Cisco collaboration deployment: voicemail and unified messaging with Unity Connection, instant messaging and presence services, and the soft-client experience built on them — including the integration and compliance questions that surround each one.
Our voicemail platform mostly works — is a full course worth it?
That profile is exactly who the course serves: single-inbox synchronization, presence accuracy and client sign-in issues consume support time precisely because nobody studied the architecture. The course replaces accumulated folklore with a model your team can troubleshoot against.
Can the labs reflect our own deployment?
Labs run on current Cisco collaboration platforms with a standard topology. In a private group, the instructor can weight time toward your scenario — a messaging migration, a compliance requirement, a specific integration — and discuss your architecture directly.
