Red Hat Certifications

RHCT -> RHCE -> RHCA
All Red Hat exams are performance-based tests that measure actual competency on live systems. Other training programs teach students to answer multiple choice questions instead of how to perform on real-world systems. Red Hat training and testing focuses on practical hands-on skills. No wonder Red Hat's RHCE Program has been called the "crown jewel" of Linux certifications!

The RHCT exam is 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. More information: RH202 RHCT exam

Red Hat Certified Architect

All five endorsement exams may be taken immediately following the corresponding course, or at any time. The exams are performance-based and test skills of the job role competencies covered in the prior four days of hands-on training. Passing the Endorsement Exam earns the candidate an endorsement to his or her RHCE credential for that specific enterprise skillset. Endorsement exams vary in length from 2 to 8 hours depending on the course, and can only be taken by current RHCEs. More Information.
