Red Hat Certified Technician (RHCT) is a performance-based test that measures actual competence on live systems. RHCT is the first step in establishing Linux credentials and is an ideal certification for those transitioning from non-UNIX/Linux environments.
Becoming a Red Hat Certified Technician requires passing a three-hour hands-on exam. There are a couple of different approaches to preparing for the exam depending on your existing level of Linux expertise.
To determine your level of experience, take our pre-assessment questionnaires.
| Courses you should take: | Level of Linux Expertise: | |
|---|---|---|
| None | Some | |
| RH033 Red Hat Linux Essentials | yes | |
| RH131 Red Hat System Administration or RH133 Red Hat Linux Administration (and RHCT Exam) | yes | yes |
The above courses are not required in order to take the stand-alone RH202 RHCT Exam if the individual already possesses the necessary skills.
