It is recommended that candidates attempting the Cisco
DevNet Professional exam have a minimum of three to
five years of experience designing and implementing
applications built on top of Cisco platforms. It is also
critical that they have hands-on experience with
programming languages such as Python. This
certification was designed for experienced network
engineers looking to expand their capabilities and
include software and automation on their resume. It is
also designed for developers moving into automation
and DevOps roles as well as for solution architects who
leverage the Cisco ecosystem. Infrastructure developers
designing hardened production environments will also
benefit from the Cisco DevNet Professional certification.
Because the DevNet Professional provides many avenues
for a candidate to create a unique journey, it is one of the
most eagerly anticipated certifications and will be
integral to aligning candidates’ skillsets with their daily
job tasks.
