Question formats
The Cisco DevNet Associate certification (exam 200-901 DEVASC) validates skills at the intersection of software development and network engineering, covering API usage, network automation, application development, and infrastructure as code. The exam tests knowledge of Python scripting, REST APIs, Cisco DNA Center, Meraki, ACI, and SD-WAN APIs, as well as software development lifecycle practices including version control, CI/CD, and testing. It is designed for network engineers expanding into automation and developers building networked applications. The DevNet Associate is the foundation of Cisco's developer-focused certification track and signals growing NetDevOps proficiency.
Official prerequisite
None formally required
Recommended experience
Basic understanding of Python programming, REST APIs, and networking fundamentals (equivalent to CCNA level); familiarity with Linux command line and version control with Git
1-3 years in networking or software development; suitable for network engineers learning to code or developers learning infrastructure
Should you skip this exam?
Skip if you have no programming background and no networking knowledge; build Python basics and CCNA-level networking knowledge first
Courseiva study tip
Practise consuming REST APIs using Python requests, explore the Cisco DevNet Sandbox (free labs), and get comfortable with Git workflows and basic CI/CD concepts. The breadth of topics is the main challenge.

What certification to take next
The exam costs $300 USD. It is scheduled and taken through Pearson VUE, either at a test centre or via online proctoring.
The passing score is 825 out of 1000. Cisco applies scaled scoring, so the exact raw score required can vary between exam versions.
The exam contains approximately 95-105 questions in multiple choice, multiple response, and drag and drop formats, with 120 minutes to complete.
It covers software development and design principles, Python and REST API fundamentals, Cisco platform APIs (DNA Center, Meraki, ACI, SD-WAN, Webex), application deployment (Docker, CI/CD), infrastructure automation, and network fundamentals.
Yes, Python is central to the exam. You should be comfortable reading and writing basic Python scripts, using libraries like requests, and understanding data formats such as JSON and XML.
The certification is valid for 3 years. Recertification can be achieved by passing any Cisco associate-level or higher exam, or by earning Cisco continuing education credits.
It is ideal for network engineers who want to move into automation and scripting roles, and for developers who build or integrate with network infrastructure. It is especially valuable for those targeting NetDevOps or cloud network engineering careers.
