SYNOPSIS
The Red Hat RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer) is a mid to advanced
level certification for IT professionals who are able to: install
and configure Red Hat Linux, understand limitations of hardware,
configure basic networking and file systems for a network, configure
the X Window System, perform essential Red Hat Linux system
administration, configure basic security for a network server,
set up, and manage common enterprise networking (IP) services for
the organization, carry out server diagnostics and troubleshooting.
The RHCE certification emerged in January 1999 and has become the
premiere Linux certification. As well, they dropped the multiple choice portion of the
exam and expanded the length of one the sections of the lab exam.
There is no specific prerequisite for the RHCE, although a
candidate can now take the Red Hat Certified Technician certification
on the way to the RHCE. As well, a candidate should be ready from a
technical point of view for professional responsibilities in setting
up, configuring, and managing a Red Hat Linux server running
common enterprise networking services and security.
Job roles of those pursuing this certification typically include:
technician, system administrator, network administrator,
system engineer, web engineer, and developer.
Here is what Red Hat says about how long a certification stays
valid: “The validity period for all RHCEs and RHCTs is now
officially pegged to the release of the Enterprise product
commercially available at the time certification was earned,
and certification shall be current until after one (1) major
release of the Enterprise product. Certificates earned on Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 3 will be current until the release of
Red Hat Enterprise 5. All RHCEs earned on Red Hat Linux 7.3
or prior will be considered current until the release of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4. All RHCEs and RHCTs earned on Red Hat
Linux 8.0 and 9 will remain current until the release of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Validity and current status of an
RHCE certificate will continue to be verified at Certification Central.”
