Course Overview
The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Automation certification is designed for IT professionals and aspiring network automation engineers who want to build modern networking skills by combining software development with network automation.
As organizations continue adopting software-defined networking, cloud technologies, and infrastructure automation, network engineers are expected to do much more than configure devices manually. This certification helps you develop the knowledge and practical skills required to automate network operations, build applications that interact with Cisco platforms, and streamline IT workflows using APIs, Python, and automation tools.
The course covers software development fundamentals, API integration, Cisco platform automation, application deployment, infrastructure automation, and networking concepts. You’ll also learn how automation supports modern enterprise networks across networking, security, collaboration, and cloud environments.
Whether you’re transitioning from traditional networking into automation or expanding your software development skills for network engineering, CCNA Automation provides a strong foundation for building modern programmable network solutions.
