Red Hatï¿½ Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) Exam

The Red Hat Certified System Administrator exam is a performance-based evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration skills and knowledge. You will perform a number of routine system administration tasks and be evaluated on whether you have met specific objective criteria. Performance-based testing means that you must perform tasks similar to what you would perform on the job.

Note: Global Knowledge and Red Hat do not guarantee that anyone who takes one or all of the courses in the Red Hat certification program will pass a Red Hat exam. On-the-job experience, in combination with high-quality training, is the best way to build skills and prepare for a Red Hat exam. The exam itself is a hands-on learning experience, and many of those who do not pass on the first try come away with knowledge of what they need to work on to pass the exam on a re-take.

RHCSAï¿½ Rapid Track Course

The RHCSA Rapid Track course (RH199) is for individuals who already have significant experience with Linux administration and would like to learn more about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. The course reviews the tasks covered in Red Hatï¿½ System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hatï¿½ System Administration II (RH134) at an accelerated pace. On completion of course materials, you should be prepared to take the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam.

Note: This course builds on a student’s existing understanding of command-line based Linux system administration. Students should be able to execute common commands using the shell, work with common command options, and access man pages for help. Students lacking this knowledge are strongly encouraged to take Red Hatï¿½ System Administration I (RH124) and Red Hatï¿½ System Administration II (RH134) instead.
