Does RHCE give you an exam towards RHCA?

[Matt7]

I'm trying to figure out if I should take Exam 294 or 407 next. If you take 407, do you get RHCE? Do you have to take both exams if you want to get RHCE and work towards RHCA as well? seems kind of silly to take very similar exams in order to apply it to different certification paths.

407 will be retired until the end of the year , you need 294 + 447 to get RHCE+1 towards RHCA

[Matt7]

Ok, I see. Can you skip EX294 and just take 447?

yes you can, you'll earn "Red Hat Certified Specialist in Advanced Automation: Ansible Best Practices" certification, but it will count towards RHCA only if you have valid RHCSA+RHCE (200+294)

Ok, so you will need all 3. Thank you, that is super helpful.
