Introducing the NEW Arista Cloud Engineer (ACE) Certification Program





SDN Pros is proud to announce the NEW ACE program and our status as the only
Arista ELITE PLUS Training Partner. Over the past two years we have worked side
by side with Arista Training to help develop and now deliver a revolutionary new
training and certification program.

SDN Pros prides itself on being dedicated to delivering only Arista training.
Our expert team works daily with Arista engineers ensuring you are getting the
most qualified and proficient trainers in the industry for Arista training. Our
staff has worked with other vendor training programs for years and we are
excited to see this fresh approach to training.



Below you will find several ways to explore the program and choose the right
course for your needs.

Arista’s Philosophy of Training





Arista has two founding principles that drive us forward: create solutions to
customer problems and always focus on Quality, Quality, Quality!

Arista has extended this into the ACE Certification Program in such a way as to
be different from other vendors. They believe high quality training should be
available to everyone in the format and price point that best fits your needs.
Arista wants the training to focus on Arista recommended practices for
solutions, not just features and commands. This is a huge differentiator from
other vendors but still not enough. Arista goes a step further by aligning the
skill sets to typical job roles through the training program.

Course Differentiation





The new ACE program is structured on a simple multi-level model. Each of the
first five levels consists of a course, exam and certification. Arista is taking
the approach that as you learn and master new skills you should increase your
certification level. No nested courses requiring you to pass two or more
individual courses to complete a single certification. We feel this is a
commonsense approach that allows engineers to distinguish themselves amongst
their peers. If you have invested in multiple courses and have mastered those
skills, you should not share the same certification level as someone that has
not progressed as far.

Beyond the five core levels, there are two expert levels. These two
certifications do not have a required course and focus on acknowledging those
that have reached the highest levels and have proven this through in-depth
exams.

Training Formats





SDN Pros 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. This allows you the opportunity to purchase the book ahead of the
course date to better prepare for the course. 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.

Corporate Training Model

Courses are delivered in a 5-day format. Live instructors teach the courses in
remote classrooms via video technology. These classes include whiteboarding,
slides, live Q&A, discussions and labs. This is another place that Arista
differentiates through training: all courses come with three weeks of lab time.
This gives you lab time during the course as well as another two weeks after the
course to increase your proficiency. This is everything you would experience in
an in-person classroom without the unnecessary travel and expenses. All you need
is an internet connection and laptop. This format moves the fastest covering the
most material in the shortest amount of time.

SDN Academy

Courses are delivered over a multi-week format, typically 8 weeks. This format
mixes a self-study and live instruction model. In each module you will have
reading sections, labs, homework, quizzes and 1-4 hours of live, remote
instruction per week. This model is good for those who want more time to
comprehend the material but still need a structured program to guide them
through the course. A variation using recorded videos instead of live
instruction will be coming soon as well.

Self Study (coming soon)

This format allows you to purchase the official course workbooks and lab time to
study on your own. There is no live instruction, but this model provides a
low-cost method to earn your certification.

Custom Training

Don’t need certifications but would still like to craft a custom course for your
team to cover the new design, architecture, configuration and operations? Easily
done. Click here to get to our contact form and let us know your needs.

Coming Soon





In addition to the core ACE levels, Arista has introduced several specialty
courses for specific areas. These are standalone courses that will be available
in two- or three-day formats depending on the specialty.

Earning Your Level 1-7 increases your core Arista Skills at each Job-Role Level.
Engineers can go beyond this and build Vertical & Product Specialties.

Testimonials





This was a fantastic course that covered relevant topics. The labs were great.
Amir is a great instructor who knows technology inside and out. He does the best
white boarding with MS Paint that I've ever seen. He takes time to make sure
everyone understands the topics.

Tony is a very experienced instructor. He shares his experience with students in
the class which is very beneficial. I would highly recommend this class for
anyone who is working day-to-day on Arista gear and wants to do automation.

Great course for individuals looking for deep dive into networking on the Arista
platform. The instructor was very knowledgeable with advanced network topics and
presents this information in easily digestible segments.

Kenneth

Tony did a great job this week - likely one of the best instructors for
networking courses i've had. His style of teaching is very clear and concise and
he teaches with the intent to help you understand the material as best as
possible. It's obvious he really enjoys teaching these courses.

One of the best instructors I ever met. Thank you Elan!

The instructor is pretty good at teaching, I'm a visual learner so he did a
pretty good job by explaining through drawing...making it easier to understand
the complex content.

Marcelo

NCT

Tony is a fantastic instructor! He really knows the materials and goes the extra
mile. When we ran into a defect in Ansible, he demonstrated how to implement a
workaround and, leading by example, reported the defect upstream. That level of
engagement is contagious and great to see!

Paul

ACE:L5

Great content and the labs were really good and relevant. Everything was well
thought out and flowed really well.

learners like me.

powerpoint"
