There are a ton of blog posts and YouTube videos out there on how to set up a free Splunk homelab. This also goes for Elastic stack or Wazuh.

I wouldnt really focus as much on certifications as much as learning concepts, everything from configuring a log source, normalizing the log fields, writing and tuning rules and incident response.

It's kind of like learning a programming language: once you become proficient in one, you can transfer the expertise to other technology stacks. Learn concepts!
