As part of the Red Hat Academy program, your school can choose to become a testing center for our leading industry Linux certification exams- the Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT) and Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exams. The option to offer Red Hat certification exams is part of your annual subscription and is encouraged, but is not a requirement of partnership. Schools that do offer Linux certification exams find value in its ability to attract enrollment, serve as a student assessment tool, and serve as a school staff training program.
Red Hat's certification exams are available only to students enrolled in your Academy program on your campus. The selection by Red Hat of an Red Hat Academy partners to offer testing will be on a case by case basis.
To offer exams, you will need a current RHCX to administer the exam. The RHCX can be faculty or on contract to administer the examination students. Red Hat Academy students that have completed RHA 230 and RHA 250 are eligible for taking the RHCE exam.
Each course has 10-12 web-based workbooks. Each workbook contains a variety of lessons, each followed by live-system lab test. These tests provide both student and teacher with a definitive measurement of the student's competency before proceeding to the next workbook. With each course designed for demonstrating competency throughout the instruction, students are provided the best Linux education and preparation possible.
