Individuals who earn a Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop (CCAH) certification have demonstrated the core system administrator skills sought by companies and organizations deploying Apache Hadoop.

To earn a CCAH Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop (CDH4) certification, candidates must pass either the following exam:

Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop CDH4 (CCA-410)

or both the following two exams:
Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop CDH3 (CCA-332)*
Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop CDH4 upgrade exam (CCA-470)

* As of January 01, 2013, Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop CDH3 (CCA-332) is no longer available. If you have taken any previous Cloudera Administrator (CCAH) exam as part of a Cloudera training class prior to our move to Pearson VUE in May 2012, you qualify to take just the upgrade exam.
