Red Hat Certification: Proven Real World Skills
The RHCSA & RHCE
Are you skeptical of IT certifications? Well, Red Hat certifications are different. To earn a Red Hat certification, you must pass a hands-on, practical exam in which you complete real-world tasks using the technology rather than just being asked questions about it.
Red Hat certification programs validate people’s technical skills and knowledge. Organizations hiring employees, contractors and consultants can look to Red Hat certifications as an input into hiring, assignment, promotion and other management decisions. Similarly, individuals who earn these certifications benefit by having official, impartial validation of their skills and knowledge.
More Reasons to Earn Red Hat Certification:
- 77% of hiring managers had “hiring Linux talent” on their list of priorities for 2014
- 46% of hiring managers are beefing up their recruiting plans for Linux talent
- 86% of Linux professionals say knowledge of Linux has given them more career opportunities

- Students who have attended Red Hat System Administration I and II and are on the path to earn RHCSA certification.
- Experienced Linux system administrators who require a certification either by their organization or based on a mandate (DOD 8570

Target Audience for an RHCSA

RHCSA is intended as the core system administration certification offered by Red Hat. From the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6, everyone who wishes to earn a system administration certification from Red Hat will begin by earning this credential. Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), on the other hand, is intended as a senior system administration certification. In order to earn RHCE under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and after, one must earn RHCSA and pass a separate RHCE exam on the same RHEL version.
