Red Hat Certified Engineer 6(RHCE6)

 Launched in 1999, the RHCE certification is one of the most respected IT certification programs worldwide. Its success and longevity stem from a solid track record of benchmarking the skills of Linux professionals through Red Hat's unique, pioneering approach to hands-on assessment of skills. Professionals holding this certification have continually helped their companies with successful deployments and migrations.

Scope of certification

Hiring RHCEs allows many organizations to increase their ratio of servers to administrators, enabling them to be more cost effective in building out their infrastructure without needing to bring on additional resources. With the launch of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6), Red Hat has released a refresh of the RHCE exam to ensure the skills match those required in today's marketplace.

About the RHCE exam

Red Hat Certified Engineer 6 (RHCE 6) is earned by a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) who has demonstrated the knowledge, skill and ability required of senior system administrators for Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems. The RHCE Exam (EX300) is a hands-on, performance-based, two-hour exam. Red Hat recommends that participants augment their skills and build on their expertise by reading the RHCE exam objectives guide. In addition, Red Hat offers clear training paths for candidates to learn the required skills.

Exam overview

The RHCE exam is a hands-on, practical exam that lasts 2.0 hours. Candidates are eligible to take the RHCE exam without first having passed the RHCSA exam, but RHCE will not be issued until both credentials are earned by a candidate.

Exam requirements

The RHCE exam objectives provide authoritative guidance on the knowledge and skills candidates will need to demonstrate in the RHCE exam. They also provide more specific information on the exam format and coverage. All candidates are urged to use this information to evaluate their readiness for the exam.Candidates will be emailed exam results within three US business days following the exam.
