In our ongoing commitment to ensuring that certifications remain aligned with industry trends and technological advancements, the replacement of the ACA System Operator with SysOps Administrator (Associate) has been extended. The End of Sale (EOS) is now scheduled to July 16, 2025, and the End of Life (EOL) is set to October 16, 2025.
Learners currently pursuing the ACA System Operator are encouraged to take advantage of the extended timeline to complete their exams before the EOL date. After July 16, 2025, the ACA System Operator exam will no longer be available for purchase. You can only purchase and take the updated SysOps Administrator (Associate) certification.
A kind reminder on a close End of Life (EOL) for the following certifications on May 13, 2025. If you have already purchased any of these exams, make sure that you schedule and complete them before the EOL date, as they will no longer be available after this date:
● ACA Cloud Security Associate
● ACP Cloud Computing Professional
● ACE Cloud Computing Expert
