Arista’s Philosophy of Training

The Arista Cloud Engineering (ACE) Certification Program takes a fresh approach to network engineer training by making it relevant to the industry.

Even better, Arista’s progressive system lets you select the training you require to develop a unique network engineering skill set rather than attending all courses in order.

Course levels

The ACE program is structured on a simple multi-level model that can be started at any level based on your current skill set. There are no nested courses where you must pass two or more individual courses to complete a single certification.

The first 5 levels include instructor-led courses, proctored exams, and certification.

Levels 6 and 7 are unique and do not include any sort of training. They are specifically curated exams, designed for those engineers with vast experience.

WHICH LEVEL ARE YOU?

Training Formats

Sunset Learning makes all training available in numerous formats to allow customers to choose the model that fits their learning style and schedules.

All formats allow you to purchase the official books and lab time as stand-alone products.

You can also add additional lab time before, during or after the course to provide the opportunity to increase your confidence and proficiency in a cost-effective way.
