Course Overview

 
Cisco DNA Center (DNAC) is rapidly becoming the core of modern enterprise networking. With its powerful automation and assurance capabilities, DNAC enables engineers to simplify network operations, gain end-to-end visibility, and enforce policies across large-scale environments.

Cisco has positioned DNAC as the central controller in their Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) architecture. Whether it’s plug-and-play device onboarding, intelligent path selection, or network health analytics—DNAC is designed to help network engineers move from manual CLI to intent-based automation.

In this Cisco DNAC for Network Engineers Training, we walk you through real-world use cases of DNAC automation, configuration templates, API integrations, AI-based assurance, and device lifecycle management. You’ll get hands-on experience with the DNAC GUI and learn how to work with APIs to automate tasks.

By the end of this 2-month Training, you’ll confidently understand how DNAC fits into modern enterprise networks—and why it’s a game-changer for network automation and monitoring.

Student opts either Online LIVE Instructor-Led or Self-paced Learning with Labs

Online LIVE Instructor-Led: $450USD \\ 35k INR

Live Online Classes:
Live online classes are synchronous events organized in a live virtual meeting room where students and teachers meet together to communicate with voice, video, whiteboard.

Benefits of Live Online Classes:

  • Rapid acquisition of knowledge.
  • Immediate feedback.
  • Live online classes require students and instructors to be online at the same time.
  • Meetings and lectures occur at the same hour.
  • All attendees must be online and connected to the internet at that specific hour.
  • Ideal for content that changes regularly: If you have core content that needs to be updated regularly, then opting for live online learning may be the best choice.

Self-paced Learning:
Online courses are delivered asynchronously where students learn on their own schedule (self-paced learning) without any real time instructor. The course content – lessons, prerecorded video lectures and tutorials, tests and quizzes, homework and assignments can be access by the students enrolled in the course at any time, as long as the course is active and available.

Benefits of Self-paced Learning:

  • Learners are able to go at their own pace.
  • There is no scheduling involved.
  • No direct mentor or tutor to clarify or analyze mistakes, no solution checks.
  • Ideal for permanent content: If you happen to have content or information that isn’t going to change in the near future, such as company policies, that new employees must memorize, then self-paced learning is a great option.

I've recently completed Network Automation Course with them. Course will really help who want to change their career to Network Automation and the trainer Sagar is really helpful. They will provide lab setup which can be installed in our local system (which will of course have lifetime validity) and also remote lab setup which will be for a certain duration of time. Lab setup helped to have hands-on experience on the automation part. Also they had provided me an option to retake the course anytime in next one year.

I joined Python Network Automation class and Sagar is my trainer one of the excellent trainer to teach network automation , the way he communicating and explaining was very good. I got good knowledge from him about this automation and exploring now. I felt the money I spent was not wasted. For me few things that the class was not started and closed within the time frame and last couple of class he just explained and I felt he rushed up the things if he would have explain slowly like initial class it would be nice. I would recommended every network engineer to learn automation, initially when I was think felt hard but once joined this course all becomes understandable.

The instructor, Sagar, is outstanding. his deep knowledge of the subject matter is evident, and he is doing an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and understandable way. The instructor also encouraged interaction and is very responsive to questions, which greatly enhanced the learning experience.
