Where teams start
Most Popular Red Hat Certifications
Most teams start with RHCSA EX200 to standardize Red Hat Enterprise Linux fundamentals across admins. They then assign RHCE EX294 so experienced staff can automate that work with Ansible playbooks, roles, and Vault.

Frequently asked questions about Red Hat training
Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Red Hat training for their team.
Which roles and experience levels do these Red Hat courses serve?
RHCSA EX200 fits junior systems admins and new Linux staff. RHCE EX294 targets RHCSA-level administrators with roughly 3 to 5 years of Linux experience. EX188 suits DevOps and platform engineers, and EX457 serves network automation engineers, Linux admins, and DevOps-oriented professionals.
Which Red Hat certifications do the courses prepare a team for?
The 4 courses prepare learners for Red Hat Certified System Administrator (EX200), Red Hat Certified Engineer (EX294), Red Hat Certified Developer in Cloud-native Applications (EX188), and Red Hat Certified Specialist in Ansible Network Automation (EX457). Red Hat issues the certifications; CBT Nuggets prepares the learner for them.
How should a Training Manager sequence a Red Hat team path?
Start with RHCSA EX200 to build shared RHEL fundamentals, then move experienced admins to RHCE EX294 for Ansible automation. Assign EX457 to staff who automate Cisco, Arista, and Juniper devices, and EX188 to engineers who build and run Podman containers.
How much training time should we plan per learner?
RHCSA EX200 runs about 19 hours, 22 minutes; RHCE EX294 about 19 hours; EX457 about 16 hours; and EX188 about 6 hours, 16 minutes per learner. The shorter EX188 course fits sprint-based enablement without pulling staff from delivery for days.
Is there hands-on practice beyond video?
The platform pairs on-demand video with virtual labs, practice exams, and pre- and post-assessments. Course content has learners work through tasks such as writing Ansible playbooks, building container images with Podman, and automating network backups with NAPALM.
How can IT Directors track progress and use it for onboarding or audits?
Team reporting shows per-learner progress and completion, cohort and group views, and completion exports for audit evidence. That gives leaders one place to confirm new Linux admins have completed RHEL fundamentals and that automation training is on track.
