Are these legit certifications?

The reason I ask is two fold. I believe IoT will become extremely popular and folks who get a jump on this technology will reap from it. I have a close friend who is actually in the sale of IoT technologies (Billion Dollar Com Company) who could benefit from something like this. Of course I am going to bounce this off of the certification experts before suggesting this to him.

Thanks.

Yes , Networking Fundamentals for Industrial Control Systems and Control Systems Fundamentals for Industrial Networking
are Both Cisco "recommended courses" (aka official) but they only scratch the surface.

Don't expect them to be enough (far from) to pass the CCNA Industrial , only few people manage to earn this certification .
this certification required good knowledge of Rockwell automation products and a Cisco CCENT level.

About the Cisco Industrial Networking Specialist certification, i don't have it so i can't comment on this one.
but my assumption is : this cert is closed to a light version of the CCNA Industrial.
