Overview

On this accelerated Cisco Certified DevNet Professional the first-of-its-kind at Cisco, the DevNet certification program validates the skills of professional-level software developers, DevOps engineers, automation specialists, and other software professionals. The program certifies key emerging technical skills for a new kind of IT professional, empowering organizations to embrace the potential of applications, automation, and infrastructure for the network, Internet of Things (IoT), DevOps, and Webex.

Whether you’re a software developer, networking professional, or some of both, DevNet certifications give you the know-how you need and industry recognition that translates into jobs and possibilities. With DevNet training and certifications, you can master the art of designing applications that leverage Cisco platforms—all the way from designing, implementing, and running the infrastructure, to writing the code that brings that infrastructure to life.

In just 4 days, you’ll learn to harness the power of Cisco technology in your applications and user experiences. You’ll also learn how to:

  • Build your career with Cisco by certifying your in-demand software and networking automation skills
  • Build your business with Cisco no matter how technology evolves
  • Join the Cisco ecosystem of innovation and set yourself apart from other developers and networkers

At the end of this course, you’ll sit the Cisco exam, and achieve your Certified DevNet Professional certification.
