ModeIMPORTANT: the AWS Certified Machine Learning – Specialty (MLS-C01) exam has been retired — the last day to take it was 31 March 2026. AWS’s current machine-learning credential is the AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate (MLA-C01, updating to MLA-C02 in 2026). Existing MLS-C01 certifications remain valid for three years from the date earned.
Scoring & markingHistorically MLS-C01 had 65 questions (multiple-choice and multiple-response), scored on a 100–1,000 scale with a passing score of 750, across data engineering, exploratory data analysis, modeling, and ML implementation & operations. Because it is retired, prepare instead for the ML Engineer – Associate, which focuses on operationalising ML in production (and, in MLA-C02, generative AI, foundation models and agentic workflows).
Score validityRetired; previously earned MLS-C01 certifications stay valid for three years.
LanguageEnglish (and selected other languages, historically).
