Please note:
The previous DevNet certification path was renamed CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE Automation in February 2026. Starting February 3, 2026, all individuals who hold an active DevNet Associate, Professional, or Expert certification will automatically be recognized as CCNA, CCNP, or CCIE Automation certified.
The CCNAAUTO Exam (200-901) is a 120-minute exam. It tests candidates' knowledge of software development and design, including understanding and using APIs, Cisco platforms and development, application development and security, and infrastructure and automation. The course Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Core Platforms helps candidates prepare for this exam.
