What you’ll learn

The Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms (DEVASC) training is designed to help individuals prepare for the Cisco® DevNet Associate certification and associate-level network automation engineer roles. The course provides knowledge and practical skills to implement basic network applications using Cisco platforms as a foundation. Participants will also learn how to develop and implement automation workflows across various domains, including network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure.

The training offers hands-on experience in solving real-world problems using Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools. Successfully completing this training prepares individuals for the 200-901 DevNet Associate (DEVASC) exam, leading to the attainment of the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification. Moreover, participants earn 48 Continuing Education (CE) credits, contributing towards the recertification process. This training is essential for those looking to excel in network automation and software development within the Cisco ecosystem.

What to expect in the exam

The 200-901 DEVASC exam certifies your knowledge of software development and design including understanding and using APIs, Cisco platforms and development, application development and security, and infrastructure and automation.

After you pass 200-901 DEVASC, you earn Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.
