Why the AAE Program?
The ARM Accredited Engineer (AAE) program is the only global accreditation program available to engineers wishing to gain credible evidence of their expertise in the ARM architecture. An AAE Program accreditation represents a consistent standard in evaluating knowledge of the ARM architecture, helping hiring managers to benchmark job applicants, and engineers to stand out from the crowd in their job search.

How the AAE Program can benefit you
The AAE Program for employers

Benefits
- Ensure a consistent standard in the ARM-related skill set of your staff. The AAE program helps you ensure your staff achieve an industry-standard, high level of knowledge of ARM technology.
- Use as a filter to help distinguish between job applicants. Many job adverts for embedded engineers will attract hundreds of engineers. Employers could select those with an ARM accreditation for further consideration.
- Use as part of the selection process. Many hiring managers will develop and use a series of ARM-related technical questions as part of their selection process. An ARM Accredited Engineer will already have been comprehensively tested in a consistent and balanced manner, across a broad range of relevant subject areas. So hiring managers can bypass this part of their process and focus on other aspects of selection.
