2026 Cisco 300-910 DEVOPS Certification: How to Secure It in the Final Window—and Understand the Career Payoff
On the Fence About 300-910? You’re Not Alone
If you’re hesitating right now, you’re in good company.
Almost every engineer I talk to asks the same thing:
“Is it still worth taking Cisco 300-910 when it’s being retired in February 2026?”
Short answer: yes—if you approach it the right way.
This isn’t about collecting another badge. This is about locking in a DevNet Specialist credential, building real-world CI/CD and automation skills, and positioning yourself cleanly for the upcoming Cisco Automation certification track. Done properly, the return easily outweighs the effort.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through:
- What the exam really looks like today
- Why the final window is actually an advantage
- How much this certification can impact your salary
- The most efficient prep strategy I’ve seen work
- And where to go after you pass, so you don’t stall out
No fluff. Just what actually works.
