Developing Applications and Automating Workflows using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) Course Overview
Vinsys' Cisco Platforms training explains implementing basic network applications utilizing Cisco platforms as a base and implementing automation workflows across the network, security, collaboration, and computing infrastructure. Furthermore, it provides hands-on experience solving real-world problems through Cisco Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and modern development tools.
The DEVASC v1.0 course includes the equivalent of 3 days of self-study material. It also prepares you for the 200-901 exam, needed to earn the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification.

Automation and Network programmability.
As software and IT infrastructures grow more interconnected, the software is being used for automating manual and repetitive infrastructure tasks. Applications can create business innovations for leveraging connectivity; however, writing code for infrastructure demands a hybrid set of skills. That's where the Developing Applications and Automating Workflows using Cisco Platforms course and the subsequent DevNet Associate credential come in handy.
No, only one exam, 200-901: Developing Applications and Automating Workflows using Cisco Platforms, is sufficient. It covers various fundamentals of software development and design for Cisco platforms.
The 120-minutes exam tests your skills and the overall knowledge of network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, automation, and programmability.
Vinsys' thorough training, attention to detail, and nearly-99% exam success ratio ensure you are adequately prepared. That being said, even if you are not able to clear it, you may wait for five calendar days, starting the day after the failed attempt, and retest yourself.
You get the official Cisco Certified DevNet Associate badge that can be linked to all your social media profiles.
The DevNet Associate credential 200-901 exam remains valid for three years. Vinsys' DEVASC v1.0 course lets you earn 48 Continuing Education (CE) credits that can be used towards recertification.
