Hi @AV2025,
@Chetan_Tiwary_ pointed you to the right course for your objective. That said, I do believe that starting off with DO457 can be a harsh experience for somebody who never learned Ansible or any automation.

If that is your case, you'll probably be better off by starting with RH294, that even tho is a more infra approach to Ansible, it shows many aspects of the technology at a slower pace.
I also think that since Ansible is a project that started on infra, some things will make more sense if you also start there. This way you'll see the evolution of the technology as you approach networking automation.

An additional resource is to take a Red Hat Skills Assessment - it will reveal your skills strengths and gaps after answering a few technical questions, and point you to a list of courses based on your skill level https://skills.ole.redhat.com
