Overview
The Red Hat Certified Engineer course is designed for Unix- and Linux-experienced users, networking specialists, and system administrators. This 5-day course provides intensive hands-on training on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and includes the RHCE Certification Lab Exam on day 5. Those who are interested in taking the rapid track course, but who would prefer to defer taking the exam until the later date, or who are not interested in certification may wish to consider RH301.
Leads to certification
Prerequisites
RH033, RH133, RH253 or equivalent experience with UNIX; LAN/WAN fundamentals Internetworking with TCP/IP, knowledge or experience setting up NFS, HTTP, DNS, FTP, NIS, DHCP, and other networking services, and security.
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.
To assist you in determining if you have sufficient system administration knowledge to take RH300, try taking the following pre-assessment questionnaires:
- RH033 Pre-assessment Questionnaire
- RH133 Pre-assessment Questionnaire
- RH253 Pre-assessment Questionnaire
