No, Spark is a cloud alternative, which can do some level of integration with the on-prem solution.

I suggest you reach out to your AM/SE and ask if there's any learning plan/curricula for Spark.

Spark services are available in Cloud and hybrid flavour. If you want to do some self help, start by getting your self enrolled for it and get the end user experience. May be reach out to partner/AM for trail org if interested to setup. If you are a partner ,dcloud is also an option.

And there is a guide for hybrid services:

Also refer to https://help.webex.com/

It depend on how you plan to use Spark , if you go for hybrid services ,it won't replace your onprem cucm etc. rather integrate it to cloud
