ARM Holdings plc (ARM- Advanced RISC Machines) is a British semiconductor and software design company. Its largest business is designing processors (CPU) bearing the ARM name, although it also designs software development tools under the RealView and Keil brands, systems and platforms, system-on-a-chip (SoC) infrastructure and software. It is considered to be market dominant in the field of processors for smart phones and tablet computers and is arguably the best-known of the 'Silicon Fen' companies.

Job Opportunities and Advantages of ARM Certifications

Gain credible evidence expertise in the ARM architecture. Achieving an AAE or AAME accreditation allows developers and engineers to demonstrate that they have the skills necessary for the successful design and implementation of the most advanced, power-efficient and high performance microprocessor technology on the market.
Stand out from the crowd. According to a recent study, 86% of hiring managers said IT accreditations are a high or medium priority during the candidate evaluation process. Employers will consider an AAE or AAME accreditation as a credible, tangible asset on one’s CV, helping to differentiate him from other engineers and develop his career.
Develop and update skills. ARM technology is constantly evolving and expanding into a growing range of devices, and is now used by millions of developers. One can use its syllabuses as study guides to help update or acquire the skills he/she need to adapt to the shift taking place in the computing ecosystem.

Certifications offered by ARM for freshers

ARM Accredited Engineer (AAE) Certification

Eligibility: Any graduate interested in career of Semi Conductors, Embedded Systems and Chip Level engineering.
The ARM Accredited Engineer is the first accreditation in the AAE Accreditation Pathway.
