Diagnostic
A calibrated baseline test, taken solo, that maps exactly where you stand across APIs, infrastructure and automation, and software development and design before you study anything.
About the CCNA Automation exam
CCNA Automation (exam 200-901 CCNAAUTO) validates foundational skills in network automation and programmability: software development and design, using APIs, Cisco platforms, application deployment and security, infrastructure automation, and network fundamentals. It suits network engineers moving into automation and developers working with network infrastructure. The exam was called DevNet Associate (DEVASC) until 3 February 2026, when Cisco renamed the track; the number stayed 200-901 and existing holders moved across automatically. The exam lasts 120 minutes, and Cisco does not publish a question count or passing score. APIs and infrastructure and automation carry 20% each, with the other four domains at 15%. Edureify's plan budgets roughly 80–110 hours of study.
The Edureify Readiness System
Edureify runs on one loop: a Diagnostic maps exactly where you stand across APIs, infrastructure and automation, and software development and design before you study anything, an adaptive Roadmap turns that into a day-by-day plan weighted toward your actual gaps, a self-paced Practice Loop of questions, mock exams, and spaced review builds mastery topic by topic, and an Intervention layer steps in the moment your progress stalls. Every session feeds back into a live Readiness Score that predicts when you'll be exam-ready and names the specific topics still holding you back — not a completion percentage frozen at the end of a course.
Adaptive roadmap
A day-by-day plan built from your diagnostic and rebuilt automatically as you progress — weighted toward your actual gaps, not a generic syllabus.
Practice loop
Practice questions, mock exams, and spaced-repetition review, self-paced, with mastery tracked across APIs, infrastructure and automation, and software development and design.
Readiness prediction
A live score with a predicted ready-by date and the specific topics still dragging it down, recalculated after every session.
Certifying a team for CCNA Automation, not just yourself?
Edureify also runs as a team platform for L&D leaders: every team member gets the same self-paced diagnostic-to-readiness loop, and managers get a live dashboard showing each person's Readiness Score, predicted ready-by date, and what's specifically holding them back — plus a portfolio view for reporting on CCNA Automation readiness across the whole team.
How INE approaches CCNA Automation prep
INE's DevNet Associate (DEVASC 200-901) learning path sits inside an annual subscription built around video and hands-on labs; Premium includes more than 1,300 labs and 3,500-plus quizzes. INE has said the path covers exam 200-901 after Cisco renamed it CCNA Automation, and its wider catalogue covers networking alongside Cisco automation.
INE's plan pages don't describe a baseline diagnostic, readiness score, adaptive plan or AI tutor, so we can't say whether these exist. What we can describe is what Edureify adds for this exam.
Edureify maps you across the six CCNA Automation domains on day one, prioritises APIs and infrastructure automation according to your results, and keeps a Readiness Score with a predicted ready-by date.

Questions people ask before choosing
Does INE's DevNet Associate path still apply to CCNA Automation?
Yes, INE says its path covers exam 200-901, which kept its number after Cisco's rename.
Does INE tell me when I'm ready for 200-901?
We couldn't confirm a readiness score or diagnostic on its plan pages. Edureify provides both.
Which INE plan do I need?
INE's Premium plan is $799/year and Fundamentals $349/year; confirm with INE which includes this path.
Edureify vs INE: which is right for you?
INE suits learners who want a big lab library and broad networking content under one annual subscription.
Edureify is the better fit if you want a diagnostic, an adaptive daily plan and a predicted ready-by date for 200-901 specifically.
Labs build automation skill; a readiness score tells you when it's enough to pass.
