Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA): Wider Exam Selection is Here
As mentioned last week, Red Hat is rolling out a number of changes to its certification program effective October 1. While 2 credentials are being phased out, Red Hat puts more emphasis on RHCA (Red Hat Certified Architect), company’s most desired certification.
This fall, RHCA becomes more accessible as Red Hat is now switching to a less prescriptive with regards to what exams should be taken to be eligible for this certification. The company provides a wider selection of RHCE exams, so you have better chances of achieving certification through exams relevant to your field.
