Last exam day: 2026-12-31. ANS-C01: 65 questions, 170 minutes, 50 scored and 15 unscored. Score unconfirmed: guide states 700, general Specialty policy states 750. Formats also differ; native matching remains unavailable in this path.

Objectives and progression

Eight lessons, 50 questions, and eight fictional cases connect AWS networking to engineering and L3 support work. Questions follow the four ANS-C01 domains: 15/13/10/12. The internal assessment contains 32 decisions in 60 minutes. The full mock is planned and not yet available. This initial pass does not claim exhaustive official-task coverage. AWS sources differ: the ANS-C01 guide states 700 points and the general Specialty policy states 750. Passing score remains unconfirmed. The guide lists multiple response and matching, while the product page describes single and multiple choice. This path uses single and multiple choice without a native matching interface. AWS announced retirement of this exam: last delivery on 2026-12-31. Already earned credentials retain normal three-year validity. No replacement certification has been confirmed. Confirm availability before scheduling.

Audience: Network and cloud engineers, L3 support, and technical managers coordinating connectivity, changes, and RUN handover.

Prerequisites: Experience with TCP/IP, DNS, routing, security, and AWS. The guide recommends five or more years in networking, including two in cloud and hybrid networking; this is an experience recommendation, not a mandatory prior certification.
