Sure:

HTTPS://docs.netapp.com

Look at the ONTAP documentation. To pass most of the CERT exams, you will need hands-on experience.

NetAppU is also a good place to start: https://www.netapp.com/us/services-support/university/index.aspx

The NCTA and NCDA are the best places to start.

See here: https://www.netapp.com/us/services-support/university/certification/index.aspx

NCTA is the tech overview of NetApp, NCDA is the ONTAP admin cert.
