Diagnostic
A calibrated baseline test, taken solo, that maps exactly where you stand across network design, network implementation, and network security and governance before you study anything.
About the ANS-C01 exam
The AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty (ANS-C01) exam validates deep skill in designing, implementing and operating complex AWS and hybrid networks: edge services, public and private DNS, load balancing, hybrid routing over Direct Connect and VPN, multi-account and multi-Region connectivity, and network security and governance. It is aimed at experienced network and cloud engineers. The exam has 65 questions (50 scored, 15 unscored) in 170 minutes, with a scaled passing score of 750. Important: AWS is retiring ANS-C01, and December 31, 2026 is the last day to take it; no ANS-C02 or successor has been announced, and certifications earned before the cutoff stay valid for the standard three years. Edureify's plan budgets roughly 80–105 hours of study, so anyone starting now needs to book early.
The Edureify Readiness System
Edureify runs on one loop: a Diagnostic maps exactly where you stand across network design, network implementation, and network security and governance before you study anything, an adaptive Roadmap turns that into a day-by-day plan weighted toward your actual gaps, a self-paced Practice Loop of questions, mock exams, and spaced review builds mastery topic by topic, and an Intervention layer steps in the moment your progress stalls. Every session feeds back into a live Readiness Score that predicts when you'll be exam-ready and names the specific topics still holding you back — not a completion percentage frozen at the end of a course.
Adaptive roadmap
A day-by-day plan built from your diagnostic and rebuilt automatically as you progress — weighted toward your actual gaps, not a generic syllabus.
Practice loop
Practice questions, mock exams, and spaced-repetition review, self-paced, with mastery tracked across network design, network implementation, and network security and governance.
Readiness prediction
A live score with a predicted ready-by date and the specific topics still dragging it down, recalculated after every session.
Certifying a team for ANS-C01, not just yourself?
Edureify also runs as a team platform for L&D leaders: every team member gets the same self-paced diagnostic-to-readiness loop, and managers get a live dashboard showing each person's Readiness Score, predicted ready-by date, and what's specifically holding them back — plus a portfolio view for reporting on ANS-C01 readiness across the whole team.
How Udemy approaches ANS-C01 prep
Udemy lists "[NEW] AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty 2026," a pre-recorded course that covers hybrid connectivity, DNS, load balancing and multi-VPC designs for ANS-C01. It's sold from $12.99 on sale with lifetime access, which keeps the lectures useful as a networking reference long after the exam itself ends.
The constraint for ANS-C01 is the calendar: the last test date is December 31, 2026, and Edureify budgets about 80–105 hours of study. Udemy has no baseline diagnostic, readiness score or adaptive plan for individual learners, so with weeks rather than months left you'd be estimating on your own whether the course plus separate practice will get you there in time.
Edureify's diagnostic maps your network design, implementation and security and governance skills immediately, aims each day at your biggest gaps, and gives a predicted ready-by date you can compare directly with the retirement deadline.

Questions people ask before choosing
Is it still worth studying for ANS-C01 when it retires on December 31, 2026?
If you can test before the cutoff, yes; certifications earned before retirement remain valid for three years. With roughly 80–105 study hours needed, check your timeline honestly before you book.
Will the Udemy ANS-C01 course tell me if I can be ready in time?
No. It is a video course without a readiness score or ready-by prediction, so you'd need separate practice tests and your own judgment to answer that.
Can I get a refund on the Udemy ANS-C01 course?
Udemy's standard policy allows refunds within 30 days for eligible courses; confirm the current conditions on Udemy.
Edureify vs Udemy: which is right for you?
Udemy is a good fit if you mainly want a low-cost, permanent networking reference, or you're already strong and just need a structured refresher before December 31.
Edureify is the better fit if you're racing the ANS-C01 retirement and need to know quickly where you're weak and whether your ready-by date beats the deadline.
With a fixed last test date, the most useful thing any prep can tell you is whether you'll be ready in time, and that is what Edureify predicts.
