RHCA certification path clarification

Jump to solution

Hi there,

i'm a RHCE (Rhel 7), with 2 additional Certs in Ansible and Openshift. So 3 more Certs to go for a RHCA :-)

Question: As my RHCE is still valid, but there's a new Cert for RHCE based on Rhel 8 and the same for Openshift, where i could do the (re-)certification based on 4.2. Would this be counted for the RHCA path?

I mean would a certification in Openshift 3.11 and in Openshift 4.2 count as 2 valid certs for the RHCA path? I already tried to get an answer from the RedHat training and certifcation team by mail, but didn't receive an answer. I hope that you could help.

Greetings

Oliver

Hi,

You'll need 3 new certifications.

Versions are not counted as new certification (ex280 in version 3/4 it's the same certification, by passing version 4 you'll just extend the validity to 3 years from the exam date).

Regards,

Nir.

I've never done that therefore don't know for sure, but I'd say no.

I'd expect your certification profile to show one exam but multiple technologies used, e.g.

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 3.11
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.2

Hello Nir,

I am an RHCE on Redhat, Openshift admin 3.5 &EX407 certified. All these are still valid and not expired. Will adding 3 new cert's help achieve RHCA or do I need to redo the Openshift Admin on latest 4.5 version. 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Suresh

Yes, you don't need to renew (but probably you should do this soon, 3.5 is pretty old version of openshift).

Good luck

the question is about different version of exam

- "Versions are not counted as new certification"

is this spread to all exams with multiple versions?

 

For example if I took EX210 (Red Hat Certified System Administrator in Red Hat OpenStack) and now going to new EX210 (Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud Infrastructure exam) - would it be counted as ONE exam and will not be counted in RHCA path ?
