Hi there,

I hope you’re doing well! I’m preparing for the RHCSA exam and came across some information that a discount code from the exam can be used up to three times within three months. I was wondering if you might have an unused code that you’d be willing to share? It would really help me out a lot!

I understand if it's not possible, but thought I’d ask just in case. Thank you so much for your time!

Hello everyone,

Do you think that this process will be applied to other countries as well, in the near future?

Thank you

@JayramDhawalYes, once your ID is approved, you can schedule your exam at any time. There’s no need to re-upload your ID for subsequent exams.
