Red Hat RHCSA and RHCE
Become a job-ready Red Hat Linux administrator who can manage RHEL systems from the command line and automate them with Ansible, prepared for both the RHCSA (EX200) and RHCE (EX294) exams.
This intensive, hands-on course takes you through Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration from core fundamentals to enterprise automation, mapped directly to the RHCSA (EX200) and RHCE (EX294) exam objectives. You will spend most of your time in real RHEL lab environments configuring storage, users, networking, SELinux, containers, and services, then move into infrastructure automation with Ansible playbooks and roles. Delivered live and mentor-led by certified trainers, it is built to make you confident on a production Linux system, not just to memorise commands. It is ideal preparation for anyone targeting a Linux systems administration or DevOps foundation role.

Certification path
This course prepares you for two industry-recognised Red Hat credentials: the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA, exam EX200) and the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE, exam EX294), where RHCSA is a prerequisite for earning RHCE. Both are hands-on, performance-based exams taken on a live system where you complete real administration tasks rather than answer multiple-choice questions, so we focus on genuine practical skill; the official exams are purchased and sat separately through Red Hat, and while this course is designed to maximise your readiness, no course can guarantee a pass.
NUEXUS training certificate
Issued by NUEXUS when you complete the course. Anyone can confirm it is genuine on our verification portal.
