The ACE-A1.2 exam is the official Arista exam behind Arista Certified Engineering Associate — passing it earns you the Arista Certified Engineering Associate certification, a credential positioned at the Associate level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Arista Certified Engineering Associate. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the Arista Certified Engineering Professional (ACE-P) and Arista Certified Engineering Specialist (ACE-S) certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one Arista credential.

The ACE-A1.2 exam presents 60-70 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Lead2PassExam desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the ACE-A1.2 exam you need 70%, and the official registration fee is $150 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed Lead2PassExam practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

No formal prerequisites; recommended 6 months experience with Arista EOS and basic networking knowledge Because Arista revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Arista exam page before you register.
