Certified System Administrator (RHCSA)
This guide provides
information candidates may use in preparing to take the Red Hat®
Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam on Red Hat Enterprise Linux®
6. Red Hat is not responsible for the content or accuracy of other
guides, books, online resources, or any other information provided by
organizations or individuals other than Red Hat Training and
Certification. Red Hat reserves the right to change this guide when
appropriate. Candidates who have enrolled in forthcoming classes or
exams are advised to check this guide periodically for changes.
Prospective employers of a candidate
holding RHCSA certification should verify any and all claims by people
claiming to hold this credential by requesting the certificate number
and verifying it using the Red Hat certification verification tool.
Employers or candidates interested in
understanding exam objectives for the Red Hat Certified Technician
(RHCT) exam on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 should consult the past
RHCT/Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®) exam objectives.
Performance-based exams
The RHCSA exam is a performance-based
evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration skills and
knowledge. Candidates perform a number of routine system administration
tasks and are evaluated on whether they have met specific objective
criteria. Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform
tasks similar to what they must perform on the job.
Authorized training partners
Only Red Hat and Red Hat Certified
Training Partners administer the RHCSA exam. Prospective candidates
should exercise due diligence when purchasing a seat in an RHCSA exam
from a provider other than Red Hat itself. They should verify that the
provider is, in fact, an authorized training partner or reseller in good
standing. Please notify training@redhat.com about organizations that
purport to offer the RHCSA exam but are not Red Hat Certified Training
Partners.
Scores and reporting
Official scores for the RHCSA exams come
exclusively from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not
authorize examiners, training partners, or other departments or
individuals within Red Hat to report results to candidates. Scores on
the exam are reported within 5 US business days.
Red Hat does not report performance on
individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon
request. This policy helps ensure impartiality and fairness for all
candidates worldwide. Scores are used to establish whether certification
should be issued and are reported for the benefit of candidates. Red
Hat makes no representations regarding the use of scores for any other
purpose, such as ranking or comparing candidates.
Format of the RHCSA exam
The RHCSA exam is a hands-on, practical
exam that lasts 2.5 hours. Internet access is not provided during the
exam. Outside materials are not permitted. Documentation that ships with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is available during the exam. Red Hat reserves
the right to make changes to format, including timing and the policies
above. Such changes will be made public in advance through revisions to
this document.
Preparation for the RHCSA exam
Red Hat encourages all candidates for
RHCSA to consider taking one or more of its official training courses to
help prepare. Attendance in these classes is not required, and one can
choose to take just an exam. Many successful candidates who have come to
class already possessing substantial skills and knowledge report that
the class made a positive difference for them.
To help you determine the best courses to take, Red Hat provides online skills assessment.
While attending Red Hat’s classes can be
an important part of one’s preparation, attending class does not
guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native
aptitude are also important determinants of success.
Many books and other resources on system
administration for Red Hat’s products are available. Red Hat does not
endorse any as preparation guides for any exams. Nevertheless,
candidates may find additional reading deepens understanding and can
prove helpful.
