The NetDevOps Program is a comprehensive training initiative designed to equip professionals with the essential skills and knowledge needed to implement and operate NetDevOps processes in their technology environments. The program consists of four specialized courses, each addressing specific aspects of the NetDevOps lifecycle.
We offer suggested learning paths to cater to diverse job roles, ensuring that participants gain expertise relevant to their responsibilities within the technology sector. This program provides a cohesive and practical approach to empower individuals at various levels to effectively deploy, manage, and optimize NetDevOps processes in their organizations.
Courses
NetDevOps Business Analysis (NDO-301)
LENGTH AND FORMAT: 2-DAYS, LECTURE
The primary objective of this course is to determine if implementing NetDevOps is a worthy investment.
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is for business analysts who must develop a business plan to implement the NetDevOps network automation process. This course provides the process and formulas required to calculate the risk, reward, effort, and personnel requirements to successfully deploy and utilize NetDevOps. While a technical background will be very helpful with the vocabulary, a management background is a critical prerequisite for this course as you will be expected to make deployment decisions, calculate budgets, determine staffing, and ultimately determine the effort required to fully deploy and utilize NetDevOps.

Implementing NetDevOps (NDO-302)
LENGTH AND FORMAT: 5 DAYS, LECTURE AND LABS
The primary objective of this course is learning to install NetDevOps (enough “dev” and “ops” to get started).
COURSE OVERVIEW
Your organization has decided to deploy NetDevOps, and your team must generate the Source of Truth data. That means you are a member of the deployment team. In this class you will receive in depth training on the NetDevOps architecture and components. You will develop the network automation skills required to generate the Source of the Truth database. You will also develop the policies and procedures that operations personnel will follow to utilize NetDevOps.
- CCNA or greater
- Core Team
- Network Engineers
- Network Administrators
- Ansible Developers
- Python Developers
- Administrators interested in Automation
- Individuals interested in DevOps
- Generate the Source of Truth
- Build the CI/CD Pipeline
- Develop Network Automation Skill
Operating NetDevOps (NDO-303)
LENGTH AND FORMAT: 3-DAYS, LECTURE AND LABS
This course primarily focuses on the “ops” of NetDevOps (what keeps it running).
COURSE OVERVIEW
You are a member of the operations team. Your role will be to fully utilize the NetDevOps process when performing network moves, adds, and changes. You will master the CI/CD pipeline. You will transition from command line management, to model driven network management. You will also develop skills in network deployment testing using CML. This class includes Cisco Modeling Labs essentials.
- CCNA or equivalent job experience
- Network Administrators
- Administrators interested in Automation
- CCNA’s interested in Network Automation
- Generate the Source of Truth
- Build the CI/CD Pipeline
- Develop Network Automation Skill
NetDevOps Pipeline Engineering (NDO-304)
LENGTH AND FORMAT: 5 DAYS, LECTURE AND LABS
This course primarily focuses on the “dev” of NetDevOps (handling feature requests).
COURSE OVERVIEW
Develop the technical skills required to gather the Source of Truth Data set. This is a prerequisite for MDD Deployment Planning. Rather than a week of Python plus a second week with Ansible, combine both into a single week that is laser-focused on network automation using Python and Ansible. This class includes Cisco Modeling Labs essentials.
Lessons and labs focus on using both Python and Ansible to interact with and configure your network devices. This class is a combination of live demonstrations and hands-on labs with virtual network devices and endpoints as targets for your configuration.
