Essential Pathway · 3 Certifications

Where networking meets code — and salaries climb.

The Network Automation Specialist pathway stacks Cisco networking with Python and software development — the exact mix driving modern, programmable infrastructure. As networks become automated, the technicians who can script them get promoted past the ones who can't.

Learn all three for $0. Only pay when you're ready to prove it.

Why this pathway

A networking ticket gets you in the door. Automation gets you the raise.

Plenty of people can plug in a switch and read a config. Far fewer can write the Python that configures a hundred of them at once, then ships it as repeatable software. That gap is exactly where network engineering salaries open up — and it's the gap this pathway is built to close.

You start with the network itself (CCST Networking), add the language that automates it (ITS Python), then learn to build and ship it properly (ITS Software Development). Three credentials, one role: the person who turns manual network work into running code.

Train every course free on OneSkillAway. The exam was never the thing stopping you — the price of learning was. So we removed it.

The three credentials

One cert is a skill. All three is the job.

Each is a recognized credential in its own right. Stacked, they map to a real, in-demand role. Take the exams in any order.

Cisco CCST Networking badge
01 · Cisco-issuedThe network foundation

CCST Networking

Cisco's official entry credential into the network world. You'll cover networking fundamentals, IP addressing and configuration, network components and topologies, diagnostics and basic security — the working knowledge every automation role assumes you already have.

IT Specialist Python badge
02 · Pearson-issuedThe automation language

ITS Python

The IT Specialist Python credential — operations with data types and operators, flow control, input and output, error handling, code documentation and modules. This is the language that turns a hundred manual switch logins into a single script you run once.

IT Specialist Software Development badge
03 · Pearson-issuedShip it like software

ITS Software Development

The IT Specialist Software Development credential — the software development lifecycle, design principles, object-oriented programming, application concepts, databases and quality assurance. It's what separates a one-off script from automation other people can trust and maintain.
