Intermediate Python for Network Engineers (IPYNE)

The Intermediate Python for Network Engineers (IPYNE) course is tailored for network professionals seeking to expand their skills in network programmability and automation using Python. Ideal for those looking to deepen their knowledge this course emphasises practical applications that enhance network efficiency and reduce repetitive tasks through automation. Participants will gain hands-on experience with real-world use cases, such as automating device configurations, managing network inventories and integrating with Cisco products such as IOS XE, Meraki, and ThousandEyes using REST APIs. The course introduces intermediate programming concepts such as creating modular and reuseable code with object-oriented programming, building simple web interfaces with Flask, and leveraging large language models for intelligent automation workflows. Upon completion, you will be able to design and implement Python-based automation solutions that interact with network infrastructure and streamline operational tasks. This course is worth 29 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
