Duration: 1 Day
The Red Hat Certified Engineer Exam (IES) is a performance-based evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux system administration skills and knowledge. This new exam replaces the former RHCE exam (RH302). You will perform a number of routine system administration tasks and be evaluated on whether you have met specific objective criteria. Performance-based testing means that you must perform tasks similar to what you must perform on the job.
