The skills tested in this exam are the foundation for system administration across all Red Hat products.
By passing this exam, you become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator. If you choose to continue your learning journey beyond RHCSA, the credential can also serve as a foundational step toward other certifications. You must be an RHCSA to become a Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®).
Successfully passing this exam will result in the attainment of the Red Hat Certified System Administrator Certification (RHCSA) in RHEL9.
