Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about SkillNuggets? Here are the ones we get asked most often. If you cannot find what you are looking for, get in touch via the contact page.
Are the free courses actually free, or do I need to register?
Completely free. Just create an account and you can start watching straight away. No card details, no trial period, no catch.
Who are the courses aimed at?
Network engineers and anyone working towards a networking career. Whether you are studying for your CCNA or JNCIA, looking to add Python to your skillset, or wanting to get into network automation, the content is built around how networking people actually work – not generic IT examples.
Do I need any prior programming experience for the Python courses?
No. The Python courses start from absolute scratch and use networking examples throughout, so you are learning Python in a context that makes sense if you already understand networking. If you know what a VLAN is and can read a show command output, you are in the right place..
