Classes > Linux > RH300 - RHCE Rapid Track
Goal:
 A Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administrator who has been trained then tested by means of the RHCE Exam, a realistic performance-based lab exam that tests his/her actual ability to: install and configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux; understand limitations of hardware; configure networking and file systems; configure the X Window System; configure security, set up common network (IP) services, carry out diagnostics and troubleshooting, and perform essential Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration.
Audience:
UNIX or Linux system administrators who have significant real-world experience with UNIX or Linux systems administration and some experience setting up key networking services such as HTTP, DNS, NIS, DHCP, and who want a fast-track course to prepare for the RHCE Exam.

Prerequisites:
RH033, RH133, RH253 or equivalent experience with UNIX; LAN/WAN fundamentals Internetworking with TCP/IP, knowledge or experience setting up NFS, HTTP, DNS, FTP, NIS, DHCP, and other networking services, and security

The prerequisites are important! Participants arriving without a large portion of these prerequisites will make less than optimal progress in the training and will be unlikely to pass the certification exam. Please do not sign up for RH300 unless you are experienced with systems administration or are a power user in UNIX / Linux environments.

Price:
$2,798 bundle price for this four-day course plus one-day exam.

Duration:
5 days

Class Times:
Training Start Time: 9:00 a.m.
Training End Time: 4:30-5:00PM (depending on class progress)

Prepares for:
Prepares a server system administrator so that he/she is "ready from a technical point of view for professional responsibilities in managing a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system for common uses."
