Overview

Validate your Linux automation skills

As teams and organizations pursue digital transformation, the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) credential helps you to demonstrate skills critical to managing systems in a DevOps environment. One of the key tenets of DevOps is automation and the RHCE is an extension of the knowledge required to automate the deployment, management, and support of multi-system environments — making your credential even more valuable and relevant. By developing automation skills to complement your deployment and configuration expertise, you will show your understanding of how Ansible Automation interacts with other Red Hat technologies.

Existing or future RHCEs and RHCSAs can follow multiple tracks to complete or renew their RHCE certification. View our Red Hat Certified Engineer skill path infographic to see the courses and exams needed for each track.

For existing or former RHCEs

Add automation skills to your toolset

If you are certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or were certified on an earlier version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you can grow your automation skills in a container-based infrastructure by recertifying your credential with the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam (EX294). The automation skills covered by the RHCE credential are the foundation for building and operating automation across an organization and are critical to scaling a wide range of Red Hat technologies. While you are not required to recertify on the new version, the changes we have made to the RHCE credential offer unique opportunities for you to expand your knowledge. The RHCE credential also applies toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect in Infrastructure. You can also apply the following exam towards your RHCA credential once you’re an RHCE:

For current RHCSAs or future candidates

Expand your knowledge with new options

If you are a Red Hat Certified System Administrator and would like to become a Red Hat Certified Engineer, you must complete the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam (EX294), which emphasizes automation skills and is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. To help you prepare, we recommend taking our Red Hat Enterprise Linux Automation with Ansible (RH294) course before attempting the associated exam.

If you’re not yet an RHCSA, you can start your journey by getting certified. By learning Linux system administration skills, you will develop a foundation that builds on your automation knowledge if you choose to pursue the RHCE credential.

Red Hat Certified Engineer

Red Hat strives to keep its certification program up to date with technology trends. We have redefined the Red Hat ® Certified Engineer (RHCE ® ) credential to reflect a greater need for automation skills, preparing you and your team for the challenges you’ll face today and in the future.

Understand the what, why, and when of Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) changes

The RHCE credential can be earned by fulfilling the requirement to become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) first, followed by passing the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam (EX300). You will be able to choose between taking a pathway for either Red Hat ® Enterprise Linux ® 7 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 to earn the RHCE credential.

The new RHCE pathway is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, which will be supplemented by a new course and exam. The course and the corresponding certification—Red Hat System Administration III: Linux Automation (RH294) and Red Hat Certified Engineer exam (EX294)—will focus on the automation of Linux system administration tasks using Ansible and shell scripting.

With IT organizations facing challenges related to scaling infrastructure efficiently, companies are increasingly turning to Red Hat ® Ansible ® Automation as a common language to automate across different functions. As a result, system administrators need to understand more than how to deploy, configure, and manage an operating system—they need to know how to automate functions and how to make the automation itself scalable.

By shifting the focus of RHCE to the automation of system administration tasks—principally using Red Hat Ansible Automation—we are reflecting the current reality for progressive organizations and the coming reality for the technology industry.

The new Red Hat Certified Engineer exam and recommended courses will reflect the program changes when Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is released.

Becoming a Red Hat Certified Engineer will demonstrate that you are a Red Hat Certified System Administrator who can automate Red Hat Enterprise Linux tasks using Ansible Automation and shell scripting. You’ll have knowledge of how Ansible Automation interacts with other Red Hat technologies, allowing you to add automation to your regular deployment and configuration.

If you have a Red Hat Learning Subscription, the early access feature makes course content available to you before it is released to the public. If you do not yet have a subscription, you can still access the content for 7 days via a free trial of Red Hat Learning Subscription.

Find out how these changes could alter your skills path

No, you will retain your RHCE status for the full 3 years from when you became an RHCE. You can recertify under the new program if you would like, but it is not a requirement. Review all the certification renewal details to learn how to ensure your credential remains current. These options include earning other certifications that apply toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect in Infrastructure.

As long as your Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) credential is current, you can renew by passing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 version of the RHCE exam (EX294) when it becomes available or by passing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version of the RHCE exam (EX300) while it remains available. You can also renew by earning other credentials as described in our certification renewal policies.

If you want to demonstrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 skills more comprehensively, you can recertify as an RHCSA when the RHCSA exam is revised for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, then renew your RHCE under the new program. This combination of certifications will demonstrate your skills in system administration on the newest release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as your ability to automate system administration tasks using Ansible and shell scripting.

If you do not have the time to invest in recertifying as an RHCSA, consider our new course, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 New Features for Experienced Administrators (RH354). This offering focuses on the technical differences between Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Attending the course will not update your certification to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, but the curriculum will update your skills and knowledge.

Please reach out to your local Red Hat Training and Certification sales team to work together on a plan to migrate you to the new RHCE program.

If you’ve taken Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) to prepare for Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) and the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) exam (EX200), you can choose to move to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 track to include Ansible Automation in your learning and certification journey.

You can also choose to continue preparing on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version of the course and take the associated version of the exam. This option will remain available for one year after the general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. If you choose this option, you would follow this skills pathway to move from RHCSA to RHCE:

We recommend that you take the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version of the RHCSA exam (EX200) to become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator, which is required in order to become a Red Hat Certified Engineer. You can then choose either the new track (based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8) or the legacy RHCE program (based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7), depending on your needs and interests. We view automation as a growing requirement for system administration jobs in the market, so the newer track might be the better long-term investment of time and effort.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version of the RHCE exam (EX300) and associated Red Hat System Administration III (RH254) course will be available for one year after the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 version of the RHCE exam (EX294) becomes generally available.
