RH302 – RHCE Certification Lab Exam
The Certification Lab Exam is bundled with RH300, the RHCE Rapid Track course, but may be taken separately. Prospective enrollees in RH302 should consider taking one or more of Red Hat´s RHCE courses in preparation for the exam, but these courses are not required. Candidates are also advised that real-world system administration experience is an important aspect of preparation for the exam, and that study without such experience is unlikely to result in success.Exam Requirements:The certification exam consists of two parts conducted in a single day. The 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 two parts of the RHCE Exam consist of:
* Section I: Troubleshooting and System Maintenance (2.5 hours)
* Section II: Installation and Configuration (3 hours)
In order to pass the Red Hat Certified Engineer exam, you must meet all of the following requirements:
* a score of 80 or higher on Section I, consisting of compulsory and optional problems;
* successful completion of the Section I compulsory troubleshooting problems within one hour of that section´s start time;
* 70 percent or more on the RHCT-level skills in Section II;
* 70 percent or more on the RHCE-level skills in Section II.These last two requirements enable RHCEs to demonstrate that they possess both RHCT-level and RHCE-level skills, as well as enabling a person who only has RHCT level skills to earn RHCT if they pass the required competencies.Candidates will be emailed exam results within three business days following the exam.RH302 RHCE Certification Lab Exam Description
