CCNA Automation

IT leaders often cite CCNA Automation when documenting that the engineers who script changes against Cisco infrastructure have validated programmability skills. CBT Nuggets team reporting adds per-learner progress, completion, and completion exports that can serve as audit evidence. The formal mapping to any control framework comes from the auditor's crosswalk, not from the certification itself.

It suits network engineers taking on automation work and developers who build tooling for the network team. The linked course covers Git and GitHub collaboration, Python data types and control flow, data serialization, consuming APIs and building one with Flask, and a network automation homelab. It also covers automating IOS-XE with YANG, NETCONF, and RESTCONF, Nexus devices with NX-API, ACI, and Catalyst Center, so a certified team can own scripted configuration and API-driven workflows across those platforms.

CBT Nuggets CCNA Automation courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Cisco's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

From the admin console, managers assign the CCNA Automation courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

The linked live courses add up to about 32 hours of video for each engineer. Actual time to certify depends on the team's starting point, especially existing Python, Git, and Cisco platform experience, and on how much weekly time each engineer can dedicate to the training and the 200-901 CCNAAUTO exam preparation.

CBT Nuggets updates Cisco course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Cisco restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
