SYNOPSIS
The Red Hat RHCT (Red Hat Certified Technician) is a mid
level certification for IT professionals who are able to:
install and configure Red Hat Linux; understand limitations
of hardware, configure basic networking and file systems for
a single system attached to a network, configure the X Window
System, perform essential Red Hat Linux system administration,
configure basic host security, set up client-side networking
services required to attach to a production network, and carry
out basic diagnostics and troubleshooting.
The RHCT certification emerged in January 2003, four years
after the release of the more advanced RHCE (Red Hat Certified
Engineer) certification. There is no specific prerequisite for the RHCT, although
a candidate should be ready from a technical point of view for
professional responsibilities in installing, configuring, attaching,
and supporting Red Hat Linux systems on an existing production network.
Job roles of those pursuing this certification typically include:
technician, system administrator, network administrator, system
engineer, web engineer, and developer.
Here is what Red Hat says about how long a certification stays
valid: “The validity period for all RHCEs and RHCTs is now officially
pegged to the release of the Enterprise product commercially available
at the time certification was earned, and certification shall be
current until after one (1) major release of the Enterprise product.
Certificates earned on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 will be current
until the release of Red Hat Enterprise 5. All RHCEs earned on Red
Hat Linux 7.3 or prior will be considered current until the release
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. All RHCEs and RHCTs earned on Red
Hat Linux 8.0 and 9 will remain current until the release of Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Validity and current status of an RHCE
certificate will continue to be verified at Certification Central.”
