Red Hat Certified JBoss Administrator — RHCJA

The RHCJA certification is for system administrators or application developers whose responsibilities include the deployment, implementation, and management of Red Hat® JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) and its applications.

This credential helps ensure JBoss enterprise solutions are optimized to meet specific needs and establishes credibility for companies and IT professionals who need to provide a high level of service to their customers.

Note: We are currently offering certification testing for the RHCJA (formerly known as JBCAA)  on both JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5 (EX336) and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 (EX248).

  • Install and run an instance.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Certification program requirements:

  • Pass the RHCJA exam, which consists of one section lasting up to 4 hours.
  • The certification exam is performance-based, meaning that candidates must perform tasks on a live system, rather than answering questions about how one might perform those tasks.
  • The hands-on nature of this exam makes real-world experience a critical facet of preparation.
  • Red Hat certifications have a current window for 3 calendar years after they are earned. After three years, certification status becomes non-current.
