Course Overview

What is RHCSA - Red Hat Certified System Administrator

The Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) is a foundational certification exam for those looking to start a career in Linux system administration. RHCSA certification is offered by Red Hat and validates essential skills in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL 10) systems administration. To prepare for this certification, Red Hat offers two official training courses: RH124 and RH134.

RH124 (Red Hat System Administration I):

  • This is the foundational course in the RHCSA track and is RHEL 10 aligned.
  • It covers the basics of Linux system administration, including command-line basics, managing files and directories, registering systems, and software management using DNF 5 and Flatpak.
  • The course is aimed at beginners and those with minimal Linux administration experience.

RH134 (Red Hat System Administration II):

  • RH134 builds on RH124 and focuses on automation, storage, SELinux, troubleshooting, image-based installs, and container management with Podman.
  • It prepares candidates for advanced EX200 tasks and real-world administration scenarios in RHEL 10.

The performance-based Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200) tests practical skills for real environments. EX200 now targets RHEL 10 and covers updated topics such as DNF 5, Flatpak, image-based installs, Podman container workflows, and simple shell scripting tasks.

Who Should Enroll in the RHCSA EX200 Training?

This associate-level course is designed for junior system administrators and IT professionals with basic Linux experience who want to validate and expand their RHEL administration skills. Passing EX200 grants the RHCSA credential and sets the foundation for advanced Red Hat certifications.
