Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites for taking the ACMA exam?

While there are no formal mandatory prerequisites, HPE Aruba Networking strongly recommends having a foundational understanding of networking concepts (equivalent to the CompTIA Network+ level) and gaining hands-on experience with Aruba products. Completing the recommended instructor-led or e-learning courses, such as the 'Aruba Mobility Fundamentals' course, is highly advised to ensure exam readiness.

How long is the ACMA certification valid, and how do I maintain it?

The ACMA certification is valid for three years from the date you pass the exam. To maintain your certified status, you must recertify by passing the current version of the ACMA exam, or by achieving a higher-level certification in the Aruba mobility track (such as the ACMP) before your ACMA expires. This ensures your skills remain current with evolving technology.

What is the typical job role for an ACMA-certified professional?

The ACMA certification targets roles such as Network Support Technician, Junior Wireless Engineer, Field Support Engineer, and Systems Administrator with wireless responsibilities. These professionals are involved in the initial deployment, configuration, monitoring, and basic troubleshooting of Aruba WLAN solutions under the guidance of more experienced engineers.

What is the exam format and what score is required to pass?

The ACMA exam (typically exam code HPE6-A85) is a proctored exam consisting of approximately 60 multiple-choice and multiple-answer questions. Candidates are given 90 minutes to complete the test. The passing score is set by Aruba using a scaled scoring method and is subject to change, but it generally reflects a high standard of competency. Always check the official certification webpage for the most current exam details and passing criteria.

How does the ACMA fit into the broader Aruba certification portfolio?

The ACMA is the entry-level certification in the Aruba Mobility track. It provides the essential foundation required to advance to the professional-level Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) and ultimately to the expert-level Aruba Certified Mobility Expert (ACMX). This structured progression allows networking professionals to build their expertise in a logical, tiered manner, specializing in design, implementation, and complex troubleshooting.
