List of RedHat Certification Exams

Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT) is a performance-based test that measures actual competency on live systems. RHCT is the first step in establishing Linux credentials and is an ideal certification for those transitioning from non-UNIX/Linux environments.

The RHCT Exam
Becoming a Red Hat Certified Technician requires passing a three-hour hands-on exam. There are a couple of different approaches to preparing for the exam depending on your existing level of Linux expertise.

The RHCT Certificate is granted upon passing the RHCT Exam, a performance-based test on live equipment that measures actual competencies at system administration, including installation and configuration of a Red Hat Linux system and attaching it to a live network running network services. The RHCT Exam can be taken on the final day of RH133 Red Hat Linux System Administration (4.5 days), or alone as RH202 RHCT Exam. The RHCT certificate may also be granted to those who take the RHCE Exam and pass all RHCT-specific competencies which are included in the RHCE Exam.

The primary goal of RHCE and RHCT certification is to meet the demand of individuals and employers for useful metrics of individual skills and competencies with Red Hat Linux, the largest-selling distribution of Linux. The RHCE Program provides performance based certification at two critical job role levels: Technician (RHCT) and Engineer (RHCE).

RHCE and/or RHCT may be required for selected personnel employed at Red Hat channel partners, IHVs, ISVs, OEMs, and other partners, to provide meaningful assurance of standards.

Most of those who have earned one or more Red Hat related certifications have done so through self-study, mainly because of the cuts in IT training budgets in recent years.  With that in mind, XXYYinc has developed high quality and affordable study materials that will help you pass your certification exams quickly and easily, the first time.
