Arista FAQs

What changed with Arista certifications in 2025?
Arista launched the Enhanced Certification Program on June 1, 2025, replacing the legacy ACE Levels 1-7 system. The new program uses four tiers (Associate, Specialist, Professional, Expert) organized into Learning Tracks: Foundations, Data Center, Campus, Automation, and Routing. Legacy exams (L1-L5) were retired on December 31, 2025.
How do Arista ACE exams differ from other vendor certifications?
Arista ACE exams are entirely hands-on, lab-based assessments with no multiple-choice questions. The Enhanced program exams are also open-book, allowing candidates to use documentation, design guides, and course materials during the exam -- reflecting how engineers work in real production environments.
How long are Arista certifications valid?
Arista certifications are valid for two years. Certifications obtained before June 1, 2024 must be recertified before June 1, 2026. Certifications obtained after June 1, 2024 require recertification every two years from the date of acquisition.
Do I need prerequisites to take Arista certification exams?
Candidates may pursue any certification level (Associate through Expert) in any order without requiring prior certifications. However, Arista recommends at least 3 years of network engineering experience for higher-level exams, and verification from an official Arista training partner is required to register.
How does the Specialist-to-Professional progression work?
Each learning track (e.g., Data Center, Campus) splits into Operations and Engineering sub-tracks at the Specialist (Level 3) level. Passing either sub-track earns a Specialist credential. When you earn both the Operations and Engineering Specialist certifications within the same track, the Professional (Level 5) credential is automatically awarded.
