Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites for taking the 350-901 DEVCOR exam?

Cisco does not enforce formal prerequisites; however, they strongly recommend a combination of experience and knowledge. This includes a minimum of 3-5 years of experience in software development, Python programming, and working with Cisco platforms and APIs. Most successful candidates hold the Cisco Certified DevNet Associate certification or possess equivalent knowledge, and have practical experience with automation tools, version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.

How does the DevNet Professional differ from the DevNet Associate?

The DevNet Associate (200-901 DEVASC) validates foundational knowledge in software development, APIs, and Cisco platforms. The DevNet Professional (350-901 DEVCOR) is an expert-level certification that assesses advanced skills in designing, developing, and troubleshooting complex applications and automation solutions. It requires deeper proficiency in software design, security, deployment, and infrastructure as code, focusing on the candidate's ability to architect and implement complete solutions rather than understand component concepts.

What is the exam format and duration?

The 350-901 DEVCOR exam is a 120-minute performance-based assessment. The format includes a variety of item types such as multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, and, most critically, simulation-based tasks (labs) that require candidates to demonstrate hands-on skills in a virtual environment. These labs test the ability to write code, configure systems, and troubleshoot real-world scenarios, making practical experience essential for success.

What job roles is this certification targeted towards?

This certification is designed for experienced software developers, DevOps engineers, automation architects, network engineers transitioning to software-centric roles, and system integrators. Target job titles include Senior Network Automation Engineer, DevOps Architect, Cloud Infrastructure Developer, Software Developer (Networking), and Network Development Operations Lead.

What topics are heavily emphasized in the exam blueprint?

Key emphasis areas include: 1) Software Development and Design, covering design patterns, data formats, and code analysis; 2) API-Driven Development, focusing on REST API consumption, design, and security; 3) Infrastructure and Automation, including model-driven programmability (YANG, NETCONF/RESTCONF) and orchestration tools; 4) Application Deployment and Security, encompassing CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, Kubernetes, and secure coding practices; and 5) Monitoring and Troubleshooting of network and application infrastructure.
