Cisco Certifications

Cisco has simplified their certification process. The DevNet certification program introduced February 24, 2020 includes Associate, Specialist and Professional level credentials with Expert expected to follow later. The new associate-level CCNA certification requires passing a single exam. At the professional level candidates can earn CCNP certification by passing two exams—the core exam + one concentration exam.

Passing proctored exams at the professional and expert levels now earns Cisco Certified Specialist certifications so you get recognized every step of the way.

The DevNet certification program validates 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.

Additional courses and certifications may be available than what appears here. What is rendered below is based on The Academy’s course offerings.
