Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA)

During academic year 2011 to 2012, 16 DISM students comprising of a mix of year 2 and year 3 attempted and passed the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) examination.

The RHCSA is Red Hat's core system administration certification and represents the common core of skills every Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administrator should have. An IT professional that has earned an RHCSA certification has demonstrated skills in areas of system administration common across a wide range of environments and deployment scenarios.

The Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam consists of one section lasting up to 2.5 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 make real-world experience a critical facet of preparation.
