Rev Up to Recert: Programming

This round of Rev Up to Recert focuses on programming, featuring a Learning Path hand-selected by our experts:

The PRNE Learning Path is available in Cisco U. Free from September 25 to November 22, 2024. It may be a beginner-level Learning Path, but it's over 20 hours long. Don't hit snooze - especially if you are an active Cisco certification holder - you can earn up to 24 CE credits!

Here is what's included in your free access:

• 20+ hours of comprehensive content
• 29 interactive hands-on labs
• 16 assessments
• 24 Continuing Education credits

Programming for Network Engineers | PRNE Learning Path

You need to build Python skills before you can become a network automation guru. The Programming for Network Engineers Learning Path will help you build a foundational knowledge of Python and its programmability uses in network engineering. As your skills grow, so does the complexity of the Learning Path content, until you have reached a basic proficiency level of knowledge.

You'll learn:

• Why programming is a critical skill for network engineers.
• How programming fits into the network automation and programmability learning journey.
• How to create useful, practical scripts for retrieving data and configuring network devices.
• How to create, apply, and troubleshoot simple network automation scripts.
• Python programming via hands-on experience.

(Completing the PRNE Learning Path also means that you will be closer to earning the DevNet Associate certification, which covers API, data structures, and Python.)

How to earn even more free Cisco CE credits

Right now, you can also gain free Continuing Education credits by completing the following Learning Paths in Cisco U.:

• The Introduction to Network Simulations with Cisco Modeling Labs | CMLLAB Learning Pathwill walk you through a basic Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) simulation and discuss the potential use cases and benefits. You will also get a quick rundown of the internal workings of CML; how it is put together, and how it works. This free Learning Path can earn you 6 CE credits.
• The Understanding Cisco Network Automation Essentials | DEVNAE Learning Path is for mid- to expert-level network engineers who are ready to begin their network automation and programmability journey in preparation for a NetDevOps environment. This Learning Path is eligible for 16 free CE credits.

• Receive a passing score of 80% or higher on your post-skills assessment.

Community support is key!

Sharing knowledge and tips with like-minded cert candidates is always helpful, and you might learn something along the way. The Cisco Learning Network Recertification Community is a great place to connect with others about your recertification experience. Plus, you'll be part of a community that could inspire you to not only recertify but to keep learning!
