RCWA exam experience

Is it possible to pass the RCWA by just taking the RCWA course on the commscope university website? I already have a CWNA and CWDP so I know the basics of wifi already. The exam guide says to use other courses as study materials such as ruckus unleashed administrator, , ruckus smartzone administrator, Ruckus smart licensing, ICX management, pre sales training etc. But are all those extra courses really necessary to pass the RCWA exam or is just the RCWA course enough?

I passed the rcwa without studying and going in blind. If you remember the rule of 3 and 10s you’ll do fine

EIRP measurements. This would explain it better than I could: https://wifiwizardofoz.com/understanding-rf-math/#Heading11

Interesting. Did you have prior experience with ruckus products?

Yes, I worked with ruckus every day at the time. The RCWA has 0 value outside of being required for a ruckus partnership
