Cisco Certified Automation Associate 200-901 Course overview
Octa Networks is a pioneer in Cisco Certification training services in Mumbai, India. Staying true to its legacy of delivering industry-leading Cisco training programs, Octa Networks proudly presents the Cisco Certified Automation Associate (CCNAAUTO – 200-901) training program, designed for the next generation of network automation professionals.
In today’s IT landscape, software and networking are no longer isolated domains. The traditional boundaries between network infrastructure engineers and software developers are rapidly dissolving. As enterprises demand faster deployments, scalability, reliability, and security, network automation and programmability have become essential skills. Recognizing this shift, Cisco is actively driving the industry toward software-defined networking, API-driven infrastructure, and automation-first network operations.
The CCNAAUTO certification reflects Cisco’s vision of bridging the gap between networking professionals and software developers. While network engineers are not expected to become full-time programmers, they are expected to understand programming concepts, APIs, automation workflows, and how software interacts with modern network infrastructure. Technologies such as DevOps, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, analytics, and AI/ML are reshaping how networks are designed, deployed, and managed.
Cisco’s certification program continues to lead the networking industry by building a global ecosystem of professionals who can develop, automate, and integrate applications on top of Cisco platforms—without compromising performance, security, reliability, or business agility. Cisco Certified Automation Associate (CCNAAUTO) is a foundational certification in this direction, introducing candidates to automation concepts, software development basics, and Cisco platform programmability.

One of my friends recommended about this to me and unfortunately I ignored him for few months. Later I agreed him joined their classes. Since then I was blaming myself for not joining before. They are excellent in technology classes. They have students worldwide . If you want to get your #CCIE_Digit this is the right place for sure. When it comes to RnS classes, Sancchit Puri, You are the best!!
Frequently Asked Question
You need to pass exam 200-901 DEVASC DevNet certification program to achieve your DevNet Associate certificate.
DevNet certification consists of DevNet Associate, DevNet Professonal and DevNet Expert certifications. These are Associate, Professional and Expert level certifications. Once you clear DevNet Associate which is associate level certificate, you can plan your next certification in the form of DevNet Professonal and soon to be launched DevNet Expert.
DevNet Associate certification program is a subset of current certification program. DevNet Associate certification program is intended to validate software programming, application development, DevOps and Automation. The DevNet Associate certifications are unique and distinct in their subject matter which are complementary with the existing certification program.
Exams for the DevNet Associate (Cisco Certified DevNet Associate), Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist and CCDP (Cisco Certified DevNet Professional) will be available on February 24th 2020.
Having CCNA or any other certificate is not necessary before appearing for the DevNet Associate exam. You can directly appear for the (200-901 DEVASC) exam provided necessary concepts and knowledge of the exam topics are understood clearly.
