A first-of-its-kind at Cisco, the DevNet certification program validates the skills of 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, IoT, DevOps, and Cloud.
The certification requires one exam that tests your knowledge of software development and design, including:

There are no formal prerequisites for DevNet Associate certification, but you should have a good understanding of the exam topics before taking the exam. Ideally, DevNet Associates candidates also have one or more years of experience with software development including Python programming.
