Hello,
Do you happen to know if I will be allowed to take the SCE exam in case I have an SCA certificate from a previous SLES version (SLES 12)?
Stanislav
Yes, you will still be able to take the exam. However, you won’t receive the SCE certification until and unless you pass the SCA exam in SLESv15.
Does this mean that I have to purchase a voucher for SCA exam?
Yes, you would have to purchase the exam.
Hi @Stanislav
Let me start by saying / reminding that I’m just a fellow student of this Academy.
To complement what the @Academy_Instructor has replied to you (in the previous comment in this discussion), I think that you can do the following 2 steps, given that you say that you already have / are an SCA (SUSE Certified Administrator) on SLES 12:
- 1st step - Take (and pass, obviously) the SCE Exam on SLES 15 ("SUSE Certified Engineer in Enterprise Linux 15") - https://training.suse.com/certification/sce-linux/exam-objectives-sce-linux-15/ - with the eCredit / Voucher from the SLE301v15 Academy.
- 2nd step - And then take (and also pass, obviously) the “SLES 12 to 15 Certification Update” Exam (Exam Code: 050-753) - https://training.suse.com/certification/sca-linux/exam-objectives-sles-12-to-15-update/ - which is paid (it costs 99 USD) but is a bit cheaper than the regular “SUSE Certified Administrator in Enterprise Linux 15” Exam (Exam Code: 050-754) - https://training.suse.com/certification/sca-linux/exam-objectives-sca-linux-15/ - that costs 149 USD. The “SLES 12 to 15 Certification Update” Exam should upgrade your SCA from version 12 to version 15 and that, along with the SCE Exam on SLES 15 (that you would have taken in the 1st step above), should then grant you the title of SCE (SUSE Certified Engineer) in Enterprise Linux 15
I hope this helps.

Hi @Stanislav ,
I’m glad that my answer helped you. Thank you for the kind feedback
SCE Exam on SLES 15 exam is questions based or practical task based ?
