I got my Enterprise Admin cert 2 months ago and am now looking at taking the Cloud Admin and Architect exams in the next 3-4 months. I work with Splunk everyday but on the analytics and visualization/search/dashboarding etc. side. Splunk recommends 6 classes to get these two certs, that equal $8k total between them.

Splunk Cloud Administration – 18 Hours ($2000) Transitioning to Splunk Cloud – 9 Hours ($1000) Troubleshooting Splunk Enterprise – 9 Hours ($1000) Splunk Enterprise Cluster Administration – 13.5 Hours ($1500) Architecting Splunk Enterprise Deployments – 9 Hours ($1500) Splunk Enterprise Deployment Practical Lab – 24 Hour Practical Lab ($1000) ** Any recommendations on which 1-2 of the other 5 I should absolutely pay to take?
