• RF Planning
  
• Roles and policies
  
• Authentication and encryption
  
• Virtual Branch Networking

All candidates for this certification must have a valid ACMP certification. Prior to taking the certification exam, Aruba recommends that candidates carefully read all Aruba Validated Reference Design (VRD) guides, and complete the AirWave Wireless Management Suite Installation, Configuration, and Use course and the Outdoor Deployment Design and Implementation course. CWNA® and CWSP® certification are also recommended.

The ACDX exam includes creating a bill of materials, designing user policies, an RF Plan exercise, and answering a series of essay questions about network design similar to those that would be posed by an actual customer. The 8–hour exam is administered in Aruba's training facilities, and test results are returned within ten days. The exam fee is $995. ACDX certification is valid for two years: re-certification is achieved by passing a written ACDX re-certification exam.
