RHCSA Training Course Objectives

Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) certification is earned when an IT professional demonstrates the core system administration skills common to Red Hat Enterprise Linux environments. RHCSA is an appropriate certification for system administrators and professionals in a wide variety of related roles, including database administrators, developers, and support technicians. The new RHCSA credential aligns with the critical skills required of today’s system administrators. As with all of Red Hat certification exams, the RHCSA exam continues the practice of evaluating knowledge and skills through hands-on, lab-based exam.

RHCSA Certification Track:
To earn RHCSA credential, candidates must demonstrate the skills required to be a successful Linux administrator through a hands-on, half-day exam (EX200). The exam is performance-based, meaning that candidates must perform tasks on a live system, rather than answering multiple choice questions. The complete course is divided into the following sub-modules

• Red Hat System Administration I (RH124)
• Red Hat System Administration II (RH135)

Red Hat System Administration I (Module I)
Red Hat System Administration I is designed for IT professionals who are new to Linux and require core Red Hat Enterprise Linux skills. Focused on administration tasks that will be encountered in the workplace, this course will actively engage students in task-focused activities, lab-based knowledge checks, and facilitative discussions to ensure maximum skill transfer and retention. In addition, GUI-based tools will be featured to build on the students’ existing technical knowledge, while key command line concepts will be introduced to provide a foundation for students planning to become full-time Linux system administrators. After completing this module students will be able to perform installation, establish network connectivity, manage physical storage, and perform basic security administration.

RHSA-I Course Outline

• Graphical installation of Linux
• Managing physical storage
• Introduction to the command line
• Learning how to install and configure local components and services
• Establishing network and securing network services
• Managing and securing files
• Administrating users and groups

Red Hat System Administration II (Module II)
Red Hat System Administration II is designed for IT professionals working to become full-time enterprise Linux system administrators. The course is a followup to System Administration I and continues to utilize today’s best-of-breed, contemporary teaching methodology. Students will be actively engaged in task-focused activities, lab-based knowledge checks, and facilitative discussions to ensure maximum skills transfer and retention. Building on the foundation of command line skills covered in System Administration I, students will dive deeper into Red Hat Enterprise Linux to broaden their “tool kits” of administration skills. After completing this module, students will be able to administer and troubleshoot file systems and partitioning, logical volume management, access control, package management.
