Yes I can always go the trial and error route like many others on this forum. Spend time, money, fail the exam a couple of times until I get the remote exam env right. I am working as a Linux admin for over 10 years now. I just want to validate my knowledge not go through a frustrating long unstable process just to prove my skills.
I can always look for alternative Linux certification
But thanks for the advice anyway.

I am still struggling exactly same issue ( tried AMD Ryzen 7, tried with Intel 11th Gen ) as you mentioned its not working on modern hardware. Probably driver issue, but its annoying. Conclusion:  Was approaching Redhat since last Mar 2022, no luck sometimes I feel like after Centos project premature death no contributors to RHEL.

Just my two cents…I also had a difficult time getting the iso env to work on my current computer. I ended it buying a Dell Latitude 7390 for 75 USD and loaded AlmaLinux on it. It has no problems booting into the exam environment.

I understand I can buy/borrow a 10 year old “compatible” laptop, buy/borrow a wide angle camera but that’s not my point.
I’m on vacation with my kids and I’m sitting here with my laptop thinking why not validate my skills now that I have some spare time. I read through the material and I estimate I will need around 10hours worth of good study to refresh some Linux concepts in order to pass the rhcsa exam.
Then I look at the remote exam prep and I’m thinking is not worth it. Sorry this is my personal opinion. I appreciate the performance based type of exams that red hat offers and I feel they really validate admin skills much more than multiple choice type of exams but still browser based is a must !!!

Both are the same.
You buy an individual exam which you can take it either in a testing center
with partner or remotely in your home or your office.
The other option (other than individual exam) is classroom exam with a
locally setup environment in partner which are typically available only for
RHCSA and RHCE. Most probably, all other Red Hat exams are available only
as individual exams which you access a remote exam environment either from
a testing center laptop or from your laptop remotely. Hope this helps.

Hi,  I wrongly input the individual RHCSA exam instead of remote exam. How could I rectify this. I would like to do the RHCSA exam from home remotely.
