To achieve a higher level of RHCA ( Red hat Certified Architect) credential, candidates can earn more than five credentials beyond the base credentials. For instance, if they earn six credentials beyond RHCD, RHCEMD, or RHCCD, they earn an RHCA Level II designation as long as the six credentials remain current. If one of the credentials becomes non-current, the RHCA reverts to Level I, and if another credential becomes non-current, the RHCA status would no longer apply.
We offer optional depth areas for those interested in open hybrid cloud, DevOps, containers, OpenShift, telco cloud, and Linux mastery programs. Each program has a set of certifications that candidates can earn to validate their skills and knowledge.
To attain and maintain RHCA status, an RHCE must pass at least 5 of the following exams and keep the associated certifications current:
