faqs about arista training

The Arista Academy is Arista Networks’ official training & certification programs. The Academy consists of three related products: Academy Digital (online, self-paced training on an e-learning platform), Arista Live (instructor-led training delivered by official training partners such as Sunset Learning), and Academy Certification (exams and a certification platform).

The existing ACE (Arista Cloud Engineer) program with Levels 1 through 7 (content & certifications) is evolving into the new ACE (Arista Certified Engineer) Learning Track program. The new Learning Track program enhances alignment with Arista’s products and architectures as well as the functional roles found in most network environments.

A Learning Track combines content, labs, and certifications into architecture-relevant learning paths. These learning paths are typically further subdivided into Operations and Engineering sections, allowing focus on relevant job roles as a participant makes their way through a track.

All current ACE L1 through L7 certifications remain valid in the new program. When the time comes to recertify, you can use one of the options below.

  • Option 1: Retake your original exam. All L1–L5 exams will remain available through December 31, 2025.
  • Option 2: Take a new track exam. Choose the track that best aligns with your current certification:
    • Foundations (closest to L1)
    • Data Center Operations (closest to L2)
    • Data Center Engineering (closest to L3)

Please Note: These tracks are not direct replacements for the L-levels—they are just the closest in focus. Passing a previous L-level exam does not guarantee a pass on a new track exam. The updated certifications include revised content and expectations. If you don’t pass an exam, there is a 14-day waiting period before you can retake it.

All current courses, exams, certifications, and other associated material remain valid with the new program. Existing participants can continue to take courses and exams for which they’re subscribed. As time goes on, existing content, exams, and certifications will be EOL (End of Life) in favor of the new track-based learning and certification program.

An All Access annual subscription is the best way to take advantage of the new program. This provides access to ALL tracks and existing content for a one annual price, and also includes one standard track exam and 40 hours of lab time per individual track. But you can enroll for instructor-led classes right here at Sunset Learning as well to live Instruction for some of the best in the world.

Currently, five distinct learning tracks will be made available over the course of 2025. As of June 1, 2025, both the Foundations and Data Center tracks will be available, followed by Campus (Q3), Automation (Q4), and Routing (Q4).

The All Access yearly subscription will provide access to all Learning Tracks (as they are released) and all existing courses, including L1 through L5 and specialty courses. As time progresses, existing L1 through L5 courses will be EOL (End of Life) in favor of the new Learning Track program.
