Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) |
Earning an RHCSA certification
To earn RHCSA credential, candidates must demonstrate the skills required to be a successful Linux administrator through a hands-on, half-day exam. This exam can be purchased separately (EX200) or bundled with a class at the time of enrollment.
RHCT certification vs. RHCSA certification
IT professionals who earn a Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT) certification have demonstrated the core system administrator skills that are sought and valued by companies and organizations using Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The job title these professionals typically hold is that of system administrator and job postings seeking their particular set of skills are usually for system administrators. Tellingly, salary surveys indicate that RHCTs earn more than system administrators holding certifications from other programs. In short, the term "technician" sells their skills short. With the launch of Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), Red Hat will be offering a certification with a title that is far more aligned to usage in the marketplace and reflective of system administration skills.
The competency model of RHCSA is quite similar to that of RHCT. However, there are some Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) competencies that will now become RHCSA and vice versa. This will allow a clear, defined, and simplified certification path, letting organizations make informed decisions based on their existing and future skill-set requirements. |
