How to be certified RHCSA – RHCE

Hello, and good Day for all elnow Blog readers.

Let’s discuss today how to be Red Hat Certified System Administrator & Red Hat Certified Engineer. Until now I’m not certified from RED HAT, I’m just beginner 😀 but I want to share my way of studying This Certificate.

1- General information:

First I want to say the important of the certification it’s not just paper to included it inside your CV, NO. The certification will FORCE you to learn and make practice for everything inside Services which you study, if you like or you don’t like.

It’s true there are many IT didn’t have certification and they professional, This true also. I believe in this and I met people like this but These people a rare case 😀 so if you want to know everything about specific service you try look it throw the certification of this services.

Both of 2 certification Divided into 3 tracks:

1-Redhat track RH124 for version 6.
2-Redhat track RH135 for version 6.
3-Redhat track RH255 for version 6.

If you passed Track 1 & 2 you will be certified RHCSA which in past called RHCT
If you passed All tracks 1,2,3 you will be certified RHCE.

For more information about RHCSA certification and the exam objective and requirements and Benefits & Red Hat recommends a training path please visit this link. and visit this link for RHCE Certification.

2- Best Materials & My personal advise:

2.1- It’s good idea to start studying this certificate by instructors speak your languages in case your language isn’t English, for example I start study this certificate by using 4 Arabic DVDs the instructor recorded it and offer it for free while he teach his student in lab, really it gave me 25% of  understanding the Course, I’m sure you will find something like this within your language.

2-2- If you have the knowledge of Microsoft Network or Cisco Network or CompTIA A+ or …etc this will help you to understand the concepts of the services fast from the first time, if your knowledge about network is 0 no problems you will suffer in the first of the road but you will get the target.

2.3- LinuxCBT EL-6 Edition. It’s Amazing DVD and Perfect instructor. really LinuxCBT is best company to explain Linux With all it’s versions. I support to study from this DVD, it will give your more than 65 % of the exam experience. Press here to launch Demo.

2.4- VTC – Red Hat Certified System Administrator. It’s also Very good CD, it contain 100 Movies, they offer 13 free movies for free you can watch them before you buy this DVD.Be aware this DVD not for beginner People it need you at least 3 month in managing Linux.

2.5- Official RHEL6 RH124 Student Work Book. Good PDF Book The book focuses on the track RH124.

2.6- RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide. Great book. really very very good book about Both certificates Step By Step.

3-prepare for exam:

3.1- Linux Exams is different from any exam maybe you passed before, it depend on you practice , practice , practice , I will say it again practice, it’s not Theoretical exam but it’s Practical exam, if you don’t have practice! you Will fail in exam.

3.2- search about sample exams to gain experience not to find these questions in the exams.

4-Recommended WebSites and Blogs:

– The linux documentation project (amazing web site, you will find good information about Linux from Start to today’s).

– I will add more websites next days but let me check it first.

With all my best wishes for success to everyone

I hope this Useful you and I like to thank you for reviewing.
