Red Hat is a new addition to its line of
performance-based certifications — Red Hat Certified System Administrator
(RHCSA). 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.
To ensure this certification meets the needs of IT managers seeking qualified
system administrators, Red Hat conducted an extensive survey and analysis of Red
Hat certification holders worldwide. This survey sought to identify the most
frequent and critical tasks that today's system administrators perform on the
job. This survey helped shape the RHCSA credential, in addition to validating
the more senior-level responsibilities that are tested by the RHCE exam. In
addition to the survey, Red Hat has continually sought input on the
certification program from its certified community through annual RHCE focus
group sessions at Red Hat Summit, online focus groups with Red Hat Certified
Architects (RHCAs), and informal discussions at RHCE Loopback events. This input
has been central to changes made to the overall program in conjunction with the
launch of RHCSA.
