Designed for senior Linux system administrators who want to validate theircompetencies by earning the RHCSA and RHCE credentials, this fast-pacedpreparation course combines RHCSA Rapid Track Course (RH199) and SystemAdministration III (RH254) -- eight days of training -- into a single five-daycourse.

Building on your extensive knowledge of command line based Linuxadministration, the course moves very quickly through the intermediate andadvanced tasks covered by lab-based knowledge checks and facilitativediscussions. By the end of this course, you will have been exposed to all theintermediate and advanced competencies tested on the RHCSA and RHCE exams, andyou will be prepared for the exams, which are included in this course.

Note: Global Knowledge and Red Hat do not guarantee that anyone who takes one or all of the courses in the Red Hat certification program will pass a Red Hat exam. On-the-job experience, in combination with high-quality training, is the best way to build skills and prepare for a Red Hat exam. The exam itself is a hands-on learning experience, and many of those who do not pass on the first try come away with knowledge of what they need to work on to pass the exam on a re-take.
