Red Hat Certification Lab ExamsEX200 / EX300

EX200: Red Hat Certified System Administrator Certification Exam

To earn RHCSA credential, candidates must demonstrate the skills required to be a successful

Linux administrator through a hands-on, half-day exam (EX200).

An RHCSA certification is required in order to earn Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE).

Exam Overview

The RHCSA certification exam consists of one half-day session. The exam is performance-based,

meaning that candidates must perform tasks on a live system, rather than answering multiple

choice questions.

The RHCSA exam objectives provides authoritative guidance on the knowledge and skills

candidates will need to demonstrate in the RHCSA exam. It also provides more specific information

on the exam format and coverage. All candidates are urged to use this information to evaluate their

readiness for the exam.

EX300: Red Hat Certified Engineer Exam

Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) is earned by a Red Hat Certified System Administrator

(RHCSA) who has demonstrated the knowledge, skill and ability required of senior system

administrator for Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.

Exam Overview

The RHCE exam is a hands-on, practical exam that lasts 2.0 hours. Candidates are eligible to take

the RHCE exam without first having passed the RHCSA exam, but RHCE will not be issued until

both credentials are earned by a candidate.

Certificate Validity

Until the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6), a certification holder remained current for

two major releases. For example, an individual who earned their RHCE under Red Hat Enterprise

Linux 3 (RHEL 3) remained current until 60 days after the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

(RHEL 5).

With the release of RHEL 6, a new three year calendar-based current window will be in effect for

Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) and Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)

certifications earned or re-certified on RHEL 6. If an RHCSA or RHCE earned on RHEL 6 passes a

higher-level exam during that three-year period, Red Hat will reset the three-year current window to

the date of the most recent exam.

These changes to the current window will ensure that employers can count on Red Hat certified

individuals to be able to demonstrate the skills needed for today's technology. Validity and current

status of an RHCE certificate will continue to be verified at Certification Central.

Currency policies for RHCSA / RHCE (RHEL 6 and above):

RHCSA and RHCE certifications have a current window of three calendar years.

If an RHCSA under RHEL 6 earns an RHCE, the current window is adjusted to the date one passes

the RHCE Exam (EX300)

If an RHCE earned on RHEL 6 passes an Expertise Exam, the current window moves to the date

one passes the Expertise Exam.

Examination Fee: Please call or email us for mode of payment and the current fee.

Exam Results: Candidates will be mailed exam results usually within seven days after the exam.

RHCT level and allow participants to extend their knowledge and techniques. Participants will have the

opportunity to debug live systems, exercising their new troubleshooting skills on a working system so that they

can start to develop troubleshooting experience.

PrerequisitesHas equivalent system administration knowledge under Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This knowledge includes:

installation, service management (using service and chkconfig, for example), basic system monitoring (using

ps and top, and perhaps meminfo and the /proc filesystem), filesystem management (using fdisk and mkfs),

and basic troubleshooting (including managing log files & perhaps the use of hardware probing tools such as

ethtool and lspci).
