- Hello, and welcome to the RHEL 9 version
of the Red Hat Certified System Administrator
complete video course.
My name is Sander van Vugt,
and I will be your instructor.
The RHCSA exam is difficult,
and many people do not pass it the first time.
But don't panic.
I created this course to teach you everything
you need to know to successfully study
for your RHCSA certification.
We will cover every objective in the exam,
and discuss difficult and complex topics in depth,
so that they are not confusing anymore.
Each lesson ends with a lab
that you can use to practice your skills.
The labs all have video solutions
which allow you to then see Red Hat Enterprise Linux
in action.
These labs were built to mimic the types of scenarios
you might find on the exam,
and will let you see how to work through problems
to figure out the best solution in real time.
I will teach you all about Red Hat
using live screencast videos
that provide deep dive hands-on training.
I will also teach key concepts using the lightboard,
so you can understand and remember core content
in a better way.
The course ends with a demo
of me working through a practice exam.
So you can see in real time
what the exam experience is like.
You can follow along,
pausing throughout to test your skills against mine.
Practicing in the CLI is the best way
to make sure you are ready for exam day.
And this practice example will give you the experience
you need to understand how the exam works
and gain confidence needed for success.
To get the most out of this course,
you should have some experience in IT.
I'm not expecting you
to have much previous experience with Red Hat,
but I do expect you to know your way around on a computer,
and have some basic IT knowledge as well.
Also, if you would like to learn more about Linux basics,
see my Linux Fundamentals complete video course.
I will cover Linux basics in this course as well,
but my Linux Fundamentals complete video course
goes deeper into the different topics.
I have been training people to pass the RHCSA exam
for many years now.
And I've used this experience to design a class
that will allow you to master the objectives
and expectations for this certification.
And now, a little bit about me.
I have been teaching Red Hat to students around the world
for over 20 years.
And over time, I have created a successful plan
to help you study for, and pass the exam.
I am the author of the Red Hat RHCSA and RHCE cert guides,
as well as over 70 other books and videos
on Red Hat, Linux, and other topics.
I have spent my professional life helping people learn Linux
and pass exams, and I feel confident I can help you too.
There's a lot to cover here.
So let's get started.
