What this course is about
and what you can learn
New!
Updated for Red Hat Linux 7
Below is an outline of the
skills and knowledge represented in the training elements (4 days) and in the
Certification Lab Exam (1 day) of the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)
course. The course and certificate will be based on Red Hat Linux 7.
The RHCE training elements
and Certification Lab Exam will also review and test on certain prerequisites
for the course. The prerequisites for the RHCE course are outlined in a
separate document, which should be carefully reviewed by anyone planning to
attend an RHCE course.
The RHCE outline, together
with the prerequsites outline, can serve as
a study outline for those planning to attend the RHCE course and take the
Certification Lab Exam. It is highly recommended that all prospective RHCE
participants review these outlines in preparation for the course and exam.
Note: Technical content
subject to change without notice. Significant changes in course content will
generally be available in posted outlines at least two months prior to being
implemented in scheduled courses, to allow enrolled students adequate prep
time. Reload this page regularly to insure up-to-date information.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites are important.
Participants arriving without a large portion of these prerequisites will make
less than optimal progress in the training and will be unlikely to pass the
certification exam. Please do not sign up for RH300 unless you are experienced
with systems administration or are a power user in UNIX / Linux environments.
