Overview
Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)
is a performance-based test that measures actual
competency on live systems. Called the "crown
jewel of Linux certifications," RHCE proves an
individual's ability to configure networking
services and security on servers running a Red
Hat OS. RHCE was recently named the hottest
certification in all of IT by CertCities.com.
The RHCE Exam
Becoming a Red Hat Certified
Engineer requires passing a five-and-a-half-hour
hands-on exam. There are four different
approaches to preparing for the exam depending
on your existing level of Linux expertise.
Level of Linux Expertise
To determine your level of
experience, take our
pre-assessment questionnaires or read the
descriptions below for the Standard and Rapid
Tracks.
Exam Preparation
* Standard Track
The Standard Track consists of
three courses -- RH033, RH133, RH253 -- and is
aimed at persons who need more review of key
concepts or who are new to both UNIX and Linux.
-
RH033 Red Hat Linux Essentials targets
IT professionals with no prior UNIX or Linux
experience, and covers skills to prepare for
RH133, including shell and command line
essentials.
-
RH131 and
RH133 Red Hat System Administration are
designed for those wanting to prepare for
professional responsibilities as a Linux
systems administrator at the Technician

to manage a Linux workstation and attach it
to a corporate network, including
configuration of client-side network
services. Prerequisites include networking
fundamentals and internetworking with
TCP/IP, widely available from reputable
training vendors or through self-study.
RH133 now includes the RHCT Exam on
the last half of the last day.
-
RH253 Red Hat Linux Networking and Security
Administration is designed for those who
desire to build skills at configuring and
administering a Red Hat Linux server running
