OTCA (OpenTelemetry Certified Associate) - Tips, resources and practice tests

Observability And Monitoring
#1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently taking the KodeKloud OTCA prep course and preparing for the
CNCF OpenTelemetry Certified Associate exam.

I’d love to connect with others who are on the same path or have already
passed the exam. Specifically looking for:

  1. Tips and gotchas from people who already took the OTCA exam
  2. Practice tests or question banks beyond the KodeKloud mock exams
  3. Any additional study resources (blog posts, GitHub repos, official OTel
    docs sections that are heavily tested)
  4. Recommended hands-on labs to reinforce the theoretical content

The KodeKloud course covers the core topics well, but I want to make sure
I’m not missing anything before scheduling the exam.

If you’ve taken the OTCA or are currently studying for it, feel free to
share your experience here!

Thanks in advance.
