Cisco NetAcad guidance

Choose by language, not by brand

Python Essentials 1 is the entry point if you want to learn Python. JavaScript Essentials 1 fits a web programming goal. The IBM SkillsBuild introduction can orient you in AI, but it does not replace programming foundations.

Before you choose

  • The courses published here require a free Cisco Networking Academy account.
  • Recognition depends on the course and platform; we do not treat an external exam as free.
  • We do not publish a networking path until its courses and conditions have been verified.

Cisco Academy questions

Are Cisco Networking Academy courses free?
The courses in this catalog are free to study with an account. Check each course page because recognition and any external exam can have different conditions.
Should I start with Python Essentials 1 or JavaScript Essentials 1?
Python fits automation, data or a later AI path. JavaScript fits web programming. You do not need to take both at the same time.
Does KurseAcademy issue the certificate?
No. The course and any recognition belong to Cisco or to the institution identified on the course page.
