Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this training. However, knowledge and skills
you are recommended to have before attending this training are:
• Basic computer literacy
• Basic PC operating system navigation skills
• Basic Internet usage skills
• Hands-on experience with a programming language (specifically Python)
These skills can be found in the following Cisco Learning Offering: Python Programming for Network Engineers (PRNE)
What you will Learn
The Automating Networks Using Cisco Platforms (CCNAAUTO) training teaches you how to implement basic network applications using Cisco platforms as a base, and how to implement automation workflows across network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure. The training gives you hands-on experience solving real-world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
This training prepares you for the 200-901 CCNAAUTO v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Automation certification. This training also earns you 48 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
