Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA)

RHCSA is an entry-level certification that focuses on actual competencies at system administration, including installation and configuration of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system and attaching it to a live network running network services.

To achieve the RHCSA certification the student must pass EX200, a half-day hands-on lab exam.[1] The minimum passing score for the exam is 210 out of 300 possible points (70%).[2] There is no prerequisite for the exam, but Red Hat recommends preparing for the exam by taking courses in Red Hat System Administration (RH124 or RH135) if one does not have previous experience.[3]

RHCSA was launched in 2002 as Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT).[4] As of July 2009 there were 30,000 RHCTs.[5] In November 2010 it was renamed to RHCSA.[6]

Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)

Self-titled "the flagship" certification,[7] RHCE is a mid to advanced-level[8] certification that builds on topics covered in the RHCSA certification to include more advanced topics such as security and installing common enterprise networking (IP) services.[9] To achieve the RHCE certification, the student must pass the RHCSA exam, EX200, and in addition EX300, a two-hour hands-on lab exam. Red Hat recommends preparing for the exam by taking courses in Linux essentials (RH033), Linux administration (RH131 or RH133), and Linux networking and security (RH253) if one does not have previous experience.[9] Previous real-world experience is also advised.[10]

RHCE was the first Red Hat certificate launched, in 1999.[4] As of July 2009 there were 40,000 RHCEs.[5] It was named the Hottest Certification for 2006 by CertCities.com.[11]
