id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cisco is a renowned name in the field of networking, and its certifications are highly regarded for validating the skills and knowledge of IT professionals. With a wide range of certifications available, it can be overwhelming to understand the different Cisco certification types and which ones are right for you. In this blog, we will explore the diverse landscape of Cisco certification types, from entry-level to expert-level, and help you navigate through the options to find the best fit for your career goals.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking to start a career in networking or seeking to enhance your existing skills, understanding the various Cisco certification types will empower you to make informed decisions and set yourself on a path towards success in the dynamic world of IT. So, let&#8217;s dive into the Cisco certification list and discover the possibilities they hold for your professional journey<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cisco_Certification_Types\"><\/span>Cisco Certification Types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are basically 8 tracks in which Cisco offers its certifications. These Cisco certification tracks are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enterprise<\/li>\n<li>Security<\/li>\n<li>DevNet<\/li>\n<li>Collaboration<\/li>\n<li>Data Center<\/li>\n<li>Service Provider<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These 6 tracks are available for both the Professional and the Expert-level certification by Cisco. However, the other 2 tracks, i.e&nbsp;<strong>Cyber Ops<\/strong>,&nbsp;is only available at the associate and the professional level and the&nbsp;<strong>Design<\/strong> track is only available for the expert level certification.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cisco_Certification_List\"><\/span>Cisco Certification List<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At present, Cisco has three levels of certification programs. The Associate-level certification helps a person find a career in networking and IT technologies. Similarly, the professional-level certifications train professionals for today&#8217;s job roles in IT technologies, covering the core concepts that span a technology area while also allowing flexibility to choose a focus area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the expert-level certifications help professionals learn advanced networking and administration skills covering the end-to-end lifecycle of complex networks, from designing and deploying to operating and optimizing. In the following section, you can find details on different levels of Cisco certification like tracks, their core exams, and their concentration exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Associate_Level_Certification\"><\/span>Associate Level Certification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The associate level also includes three types of certification programs. Candidates have to undergo a 120 minutes examination to obtain the following certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pynetlabs.com\/ccna-training-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>CCNA 200-301<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The certification is suitable for a person interested in learning network access, network fundamentals, security fundamentals, IP connectivity, network automation, and many more. The certification helps network professionals acquire arrays of networking technology and software development skills.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; <\/span><b>DEVASC 200-901<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The Cisco Certified DevNet Associate (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pynetlabs.com\/devnet-associate-devasc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DEVASC 200-901<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) focuses on software development. Candidates do not need to qualify for any prerequisites. However, Cisco recommends the program for people familiar with software development and Python programming. The certification intends to investigate your skills in maintaining the applications developed on the Cisco platform.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &nbsp; <\/span><b>CBROPS 200-201<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: This certification is suitable for people interested in building a career in cybersecurity. Cisco mentions no formal prerequisites for appearing in this examination.
