Certification

To earn the RHCE certification, one must also have cleared the RHCSA examination. Participants can enroll for the RHCE exam even without clearing the RHCSA exam, however, the certification will be issued only after clearing both.

The RHCE exam is a performance-based evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration skills and knowledge. Participants will be required to perform a number of routine system administration tasks and are evaluated on how they meet a set of objective criteria. The tasks the participants perform will be similar to what they would be performing on the job.

The exam will be a hands-on, practical exam. The duration of the exam is 3.5 hours. No internet access will be provided during the exam and no outside materials will be permitted.

The official scores of the exam will come from Red Hat Certification Central, usually within 3 US business days.
