You might notice that some of the specializations listed
in Table 1-5 were listed earlier in this chapter for the
CCNP exams as well. This is because they can be used for
both the CCNP exams and the DevNet Professional
exams. In addition, the DevNet Specialist exams can be
taken independently for Cisco Certified DevNet
Specialist certification. This is similar to the CCNP
concentration exams covered earlier. Figure 1-5
illustrates the entire Cisco career certification structure.
As you can see, regardless of what track a candidate
decides to pursue—whether it’s a Specialist or a
Professional level—it is possible to choose a variety of
DevNet skills as part of the journey.

This section looks at the tools and resources available for
Cisco DevNet certification candidates. These tools help
candidates to learn, practice, and share ideas as well as
experience.
