Recertification
In order for an RHCA to remain current, you must maintain five eligible credentials. You can also earn a higher level of RHCA by earning more than five eligible credentials.
In case the number of eligible, current certifications goes below five, you would lose your RHCA, but it can be easily restored by either re-taking past exams or by taking new Certification of Expertise exams.
