Hi,
For me getting the RHCA is more the consequence of passing other certifications, since it's required to get RHCE + 5 certification exams to get the RHCA.
I have earned RHCE + 3 certifications. I completed two other courses (RH403 about Red Hat Satellite) and RH415 (Red Hat Security course). Due to work commitments and planning adaptation during COVID, I was unable to get myself ready for attending any new exams. To be accurate, I started RH403 when Remote Exams did not even exists yet, as a result, I have lost practice and I had to moved on. Like for many others, testing centers where closed and I was not able to attend any exam at the time.
I find it hard to resume my training on that topic, I started doing video exercice again, to find out I'm lacking of practice and need more training time again.
It's certainly hard, especially when there are work commitment which require learning/using other advanced topics on the side.
Also, there are some complex topic on the RH415 course, such as advanced SELinux, which needs special attention (and time). It's technically difficult.
I find getting ready for these additional certification exams is a difficult process. I don't have the luxury to put some time aside out of working hours, due to family commitment.
Well nobody said it has to be easy, isn't it?
