What is Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA)?

Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) is an associate-level, 4 months instructor-led course that prepares you for the EX200 exam at INFOTICS Academy in Karachi. Delivery: Live online / on-site (Karachi). The course fee is PKR 88,000. Register your interest and we will tell you when the next batch opens.

Red Hat exams are practical: you sit in front of a live system and must complete real administration tasks. This programme is built the same way. You spend the course at the command line, configuring users and permissions, storage and file systems, systemd services, networking, firewalld and SELinux, scheduled jobs, software repositories and containers with Podman.

The outcome is a real skill: you can build and maintain a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server, diagnose it when it breaks and secure it properly, which is the foundation for RHCE, OpenShift and DevOps work.
