CCNP Automation Certification Training with Koenig Solutions

Course Overview

What is CCNP Automation?

CCNP Automation is a professional-level certification from Cisco that validates expertise in designing, deploying, and managing network automation systems. It addresses the growing need for IT professionals who can integrate software development practices with network infrastructure, enabling organizations to streamline operations, reduce errors, and scale efficiently through automated workflows. This certification sits within Cisco’s Automation career track, bridging core networking with programmability and DevOps practices. The certification is built around a core exam and a concentration exam, each aligned with specific automation domains. The 350-901 AUTOCOR exam focuses on developing network automation systems using Python, Ansible, Terraform, and AI-driven tools like LLM-powered agents and MCP servers. Candidates then choose a concentration: 300-435 ENAUTO for automating enterprise networks with Cisco Catalyst Center, SD-WAN, and Meraki, or 300-635 DCNAUTO for data center automation using Cisco ACI, NX-OS, and Nexus Dashboard. CCNP Automation is for network engineers, automation developers, and infrastructure architects who are expanding into software-driven operations. These professionals benefit by gaining validated skills in API integration, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and secure automation practices—enabling them to design resilient, scalable systems that align with modern NetDevOps workflows.

Everything you need to know about CCNP Automation certification training with Koenig Solutions.

CCNP Automation is Cisco's professional-level certification for designing, deploying, and managing network automation systems using APIs, infrastructure as code, and AI-driven workflows. It validates skills in Python, Ansible, Terraform, Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco ACI, and model-driven telemetry. The certification covers software design, secure coding, CI/CD pipelines, and automation across enterprise and data center networks.
CCNP Automation training is designed for network engineers, automation engineers, DevOps practitioners, and infrastructure architects with 3–5 years of experience in Cisco platforms and Python programming. It serves professionals transitioning into NetDevOps roles or seeking to automate enterprise and data center networks using programmable infrastructure.
There are no formal prerequisites for CCNP Automation, but Cisco recommends candidates have 3–5 years of experience in designing and implementing applications on Cisco platforms, including Python scripting. Familiarity with REST APIs, infrastructure as code (IaC), and network automation tools like Ansible and Terraform is strongly advised before attempting the exams.
The training prepares for the CCNP Automation certification, which requires passing exam 350-901 AUTOCOR and one concentration exam such as 300-435 ENAUTO or 300-635 DCNAUTO. The core exam covers network automation design, infrastructure as code, AI in automation, secure coding, and CI/CD pipelines using Cisco platforms like Catalyst Center and ACI.
The 350-901 AUTOCOR exam consists of 90–110 questions, including multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, and simulation-based items, with a 120-minute duration. Cisco does not publish the exact passing score, but it is typically around 825 out of 1000. Results are available within 48 hours and the exam is graded pass/fail.
Koenig offers 40-hour (5-day) instructor-led training for CCNP Automation, delivered live online, in classroom centers, or via 1-on-1 private batches.
