OpenTelemetry Certified Associate (OTCA)
Six weeks on traces, metrics and logs with one standard
A six-week classroom course that follows the four domains of the Linux Foundation's OpenTelemetry Certified Associate exam: fundamentals of observability, the OpenTelemetry API and SDK, the OpenTelemetry Collector, and maintaining and debugging observability pipelines. Nearly half the exam is the API and SDK, and so is the course. The exam fee is not included.
