The core certification stack
CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, LPI Linux Essentials, and ITIL 4 Foundation: the six credentials every track carries. We complete the exam path for cert-linked courses, including proctored environments.

At a glance
Last updated
Coursework Ninja finishes the WGU B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering degree across all four tracks: General, AWS, Azure, and Cisco. A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, Linux Essentials, and ITIL certification exams handled, plus track credentials like CCNA or Azure Solutions Architecture, on a written plan that clears remaining CUs in 6 months or you do not pay. The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat. Not affiliated with Western Governors University.
The B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering is the most certification-dense degree WGU sells. Every student, on every track, sits six or more industry exams: CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, LPI Linux Essentials, and ITIL 4 Foundation. Then the track adds more: AWS architecture credentials, Azure architecture credentials, or the Cisco stack with CCNA, CyberOps, and DevNet. Each exam is its own gate with its own scheduling and its own proctored environment.
We run the certification stack as the plan, not as a surprise. Foundation exams first, track exams sequenced with retake room, and the courses around them (Python for IT automation, virtualization and IaaS, cloud and network security models) cleared on the same weekly schedule. Six months, in writing, or you do not pay.
- Six-plus certification exams handled per track
- AWS, Azure, Cisco, and General tracks all covered
- Automation and security coursework delivered
- 6-month finish-or-don't-pay guarantee
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
What do we complete in the WGU cloud and network engineering degree?
Track-specific credentials
AWS Cloud Architecture and Deployment and Operations on the AWS track, Azure Solutions Architecture on the Azure track, CCNA plus Cisco CyberOps and DevNet on the Cisco track. Your written plan names the exact exams for your track.
Automation and AI operations courses
Python for IT Automation, AI for IT Automation and Security, and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Foundations: the automation core that separates this degree from a classic networking program.
Infrastructure and security coursework
Virtualization and IaaS, network and security foundations, and cloud and network security models cleared on the weekly schedule instead of drifting between exam pushes.

Key courses in this WGU program
Course names and codes below are verified against WGU's official September 2026 Institutional Catalog (General track table: E004, D336, D333, C957, D315, D325, D426, D329, E025, E026, E027, D318, D337, E028, D267, D246, D370, and the E029 capstone). Assessment labels reflect typical OA/PA patterns for the course type; exact task mix can shift by catalog year. Codes are shown only when verified against an official WGU source.

Career outcomes
What graduates do with a B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering
Honest picture: traditional systems administration is shrinking as infrastructure moves to managed cloud, while the engineers who run that cloud move into better-paid architecture and management seats.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| Network and computer systems administrators | $96,800 | 4% decline |
| Computer and information systems managers | $171,200 | 15% growth |
Figures are U.S. national medians from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook: 2024 median annual pay and projected employment change from 2024 to 2034. Pay varies by state, employer, and experience. What happens after a WGU degree: employers, salary surveys, and the already-employed vs career-changer split.
Bottlenecks
Where does the WGU cloud and network degree usually stall?
What we see most from cloud and network students:
- One failed Network+ or Security+ attempt quietly eating a whole term
- A track picked on vibes, with the real exam list discovered only after enrollment
- Retake windows ignored, so one bad exam slot pushes the finish date past term end
- Proctored exam logistics learned on exam day instead of at booking
- Cert prep consuming every week while the automation and scripting courses go untouched

The plan
What does the 6-month cloud and network plan look like?
Months 1-2
Foundation exams first: A+ and Network+ paths cleared early, Linux Essentials alongside them, leaving retake room before the heavier security and cloud exams.
Months 3-4
Security+, Cloud+, and the ITIL path run in sequence, with Python automation and virtualization coursework moving through the submission pipeline between exam pushes.
Months 5-6
Track credentials close out: AWS, Azure, or CCNA-stack exams, remaining courses cleared, buffer weeks protected for any retake under the written guarantee.

Questions, answered
Pick by the credential list you want on your resume: AWS architecture, Azure architecture, or the Cisco stack with CCNA. If you want breadth, the General track still carries the six core certifications. We complete all four tracks; at intake we map your remaining CUs against the one you are enrolled in.
Yes. Certification-linked courses are part of the done-for-you plan, including the proctored exam environments (PingOne plus ProctorU Guardian where required). We sequence exams with retake room so one failed attempt cannot end the term.
The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee. If a single cert course blocks you, single-course completion starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. Coursework Ninja is independent of WGU.
Usually yes. Current certifications can post as course credit, which removes those courses from your remaining list entirely. We build the written plan from what WGU shows as incomplete, so existing certs simply shrink it.
Every track carries at least six core certifications (CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, LPI Linux Essentials, ITIL 4 Foundation), plus track credentials such as AWS or Azure architecture exams or the Cisco CCNA stack. Your exact list depends on your track and catalog year; we confirm it at intake.
Per the August 2026 catalog, all four tracks share the same bookends: D333 Ethics in Technology and D336 Business of IT - Applications in term 1, and D246 Influential Communication through Visual Design and Storytelling in term 8. The ethics course has no prerequisites and scores case analyses through named frameworks, the ITIL course is the service-management vocabulary behind the certification path, and the communication course lands in the final term beside the last certification pushes. All three have their own completion pages linked below, and singles start at $99.
Fifteen now, with placements verified against the September 2026 catalog: the CompTIA A+ pair, D316 IT Foundations in term 2 and D317 IT Applications in term 3 of all four tracks, the networking pair on the General, AWS, and Azure tracks, D325 Networks (ITEC 3602, Network+ aligned, with Network and Security - Foundations stated as its catalog prerequisite) in term 4 and D329 Network and Security - Applications (ITEC 2112, Security+ aligned) in term 6, the Python pair, E010 Foundations of Programming (Python) and D522 Python for IT Automation, both in term 5 of every track, and the upper-division spine this degree leans on hardest: E025 Cloud and Network Security Models (ITCL 2200, 4 CUs) in term 6 of all four tracks, E026 AI for IT Automation and Security (ITCL 2201, 3 CUs) in term 6 on three tracks and term 7 on Cisco, E027 Virtualization and IaaS (ITCL 3300, 3 CUs) in term 7 of all four, and E028 Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure and Orchestration (ITCL 4200, 4 CUs) in term 7 of the General track and term 8 of the others. Newest: the term-4 operations pair on all four tracks, D412 Network Analytics and Troubleshooting (ITEC 3101, 3 CUs) and D413 Telecomm and Wireless Communications (ITEC 3201, 3 CUs, term 5 on the Cisco table), and the term-7 pair, D337 Internet of Things (IoT) and Infrastructure (ITEC 2114, 3 CUs, catalog-stated no prerequisites, all four tracks) and D318 Cloud Applications (ITEC 3601, 3 CUs, the CompTIA Cloud+ aligned course of the General and Cisco tracks). The AWS track's own cloud course now has a page too: D282 Cloud Foundations (ITEC 2119, 3 CUs, catalog-stated AWS Certified Practitioner alignment and no prerequisites) in term 7 beside E027, D337, and D319 AWS Cloud Architecture. Each page shows exactly what completion covers, and all fifteen fold into the $3,000 bachelor's package.
