Note: Except if you purchased a voucher before February 28, 2015, it is not possible to take the RHCSA 6 or RHCE 6 exams anymore.
To get current information about the RHCSA and RHCE exams, you need to go to the RHEL 7 Red Hat certification page.

Since the beginning of 2014, Red Hat has stopped the RHCSS certification and the three following associated certificates:
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Security: Network Services (EX333),
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Directory Services and Authentication (EX423),
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in SELinux Policy Administration (EX429).
Starting from May 15, 2014 it is no longer required to be RHCE to take the following exams:
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Deployment and Systems Management Exam (EX401),
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Server Hardening Exam (EX413),
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Clustering and Storage Management Exam (EX436),
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Performance Tuning Exam (EX442).
Red Hat Certificates of Expertise are now only valid for 3 years. The ones passed before October 1, 2014 will be valid until October 1, 2017.
The Red Hat Certified Architect certification (RHCA) now requires RHCE certification plus success to any five of the following Red Hat exams:
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Hybrid Cloud Administration,
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Hybrid Cloud Storage (EX236),
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Platform-as-a-Service (EX280),

- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Security: Networking Services (EX333)*,
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Directory Services and Authentication (EX423)*,
- Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in SELinux Policy Administration (EX429)*.
*These exams are no longer offered but can still count for RHCA certification.
After passing the five mandatory exams, any new exam passed will add a distinction to the RHCA certification: level I, level II, etc.

Hi,
I going to do the rhce (EX300) in rhel6.
The last chance to do it in version 6.
Can you tell me, if I can use setroubleshoot during the exam?
Yes, you can install the setroubleshoot-server package. Then, you will be able to use the semanage and sealert commands.
Hi
I found this website a great help. I just cleared my RHCSA and planning to take RHCE next month. Thank you for hosting this great site.
Once I finish with RHCE, I’m planning to do below listed other certificates (EX318, EX436, EX401, EX210, EX442, EX236). Could you please let me know, how to prepare for these exams. Is there any online material or online training available for these. Charges of redhat and other reputed training center is very high.
Thanks
Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (EX318),
Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Clustering and Storage Management (EX436),
Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Deployment and Systems Management (EX401),
Red Hat Certified System Administrator in Red Hat OpenStack (EX210),
Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Performance Tuning (EX442),
Red Hat Certificate of Expertise in Hybrid Cloud Storage (EX236),
For the OpenStack exam, you can get documentation at https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation/ and http://docs.openstack.org/.
For the other exams, you will have to rely on the Official Red Hat documentation, I’m afraid.
Thanks for the great site and helpful topics.
I passed RHCSA v6 yesterday and I got 300, with the help of this site and the materials mentioned here.
thanks again
