How Long Does It Take to Learn Network Automation?

Learning network automation has no fixed timeline. It depends on your understanding of networking and how comfortable you are with scripting. It also depends on how many hours you can dedicate each week to practice your skills.  Most learners who have networking knowledge reach a useful working level in around 4 to 5 weeks with regular practice. However, if you are starting from the beginning in networking, it can take up to 8 to 9 weeks to learn network automation, and reaching an advanced level where you design automation at scale usually takes 6 to 12 months of real projects.
