I am RHCA
RHCA is one of the most interesting certification I’ve never seen in information technology marketplace. To pass all exams you’ve got to DO what you have to know, not only make a check into multiple choice questions.
It was hard, but I’m happy because yesterday I received the result of my last exam: passed!
Today, I am RHCA! 
For the first time I think to have a “valid” certification to show my own skills In Italy it’s pretty unusual. University degrees, certifications and so on are usually not related to practically experiences: you can have a master degree in information technology or computer science without know how using your mouse…
Changing this point of view is hard, but I think it’s not impossible. RHCA is a reality. I hope other companies will follow RedHat way. I think it’s the right way.

Congrats! Since I just recently got my RHCE, it’ll be a while before I go on to work on the RHCA.
Congrats again, I’m sure you are relieved.
