Possess hands-on experience with the Red Hat 3scale API Management platform
Red Hat encourages you to consider taking Build and Administer APIs with Red Hat 3scale API Management (AD240) to help prepare. Attendance in these classes is not required; students can choose to take just the exam.
While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of one's preparation to take this exam, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.
