Do I need prior Linux experience to join?

No. The RHCSA portion starts from the fundamentals of the Linux command line, so it is beginner friendly. You should be comfortable using a computer and willing to work at the command line. By the time we reach the RHCE and Ansible material, you will have built the foundation you need.

How long is the course and when are classes held?

The course typically runs about 1.5 months. Sessions are scheduled on weekends or on weekday evenings so you can train while working or studying, and new batches open regularly. You can pick the format that fits your schedule when you enrol at nuexus.com/trainings.

Can I take this online, or only in Islamabad?

Both. You can join live online from anywhere in the world, or attend onsite at our Islamabad location. We also offer batch classes and 1-on-1 training, so you can choose the setting that suits you best.

Does the RHCSA and RHCE exam come with the course?

The official Red Hat EX200 and EX294 exams are purchased and scheduled separately through Red Hat, so they are not the same as this training. This course is dedicated preparation that mirrors the real exam objectives and gives you extensive hands-on practice to maximise your readiness, though no course can guarantee an exam pass.

Will I get a certificate from NUEXUS?

Yes. On completing the course you receive a NUEXUS completion certificate that recognises the training and hands-on work you finished. This is separate from the official Red Hat RHCSA and RHCE credentials, which you earn by passing the Red Hat exams.

What will I actually build and practise?

The course is lab and project based. You will configure real RHEL systems: managing users, storage and LVM, services, networking, firewalls, SELinux, and Podman containers, then automate multi-host setups with Ansible playbooks and roles. The emphasis is on doing the tasks yourself under mentor guidance, close to how the performance-based exams work.

Is this course worth it if I want a DevOps or cloud career?

Yes. Strong Linux administration and Ansible automation are core foundations for DevOps and cloud roles, and both are covered here. The course is job-focused and skill-first, though we are honest that no training can guarantee a specific job; it is designed to make you genuinely capable and improve your prospects.

Overview

What you will be able to do

This intensive, hands-on course takes you through Red Hat Enterprise Linux administration from core fundamentals to enterprise automation, mapped directly to the RHCSA (EX200) and RHCE (EX294) exam objectives. You will spend most of your time in real RHEL lab environments configuring storage, users, networking, SELinux, containers, and services, then move into infrastructure automation with Ansible playbooks and roles. Delivered live and mentor-led by certified trainers, it is built to make you confident on a production Linux system, not just to memorise commands. It is ideal preparation for anyone targeting a Linux systems administration or DevOps foundation role.

Outcomes

Install, access, and confidently operate Red Hat Enterprise Linux from the command line and manage files, text, and processes

Manage users, groups, permissions, and SELinux to secure a RHEL system correctly

Configure local storage, logical volumes (LVM), and file systems, and mount them persistently

Administer services, scheduled jobs, networking, firewalls, and software with systemd, firewalld, and dnf

Deploy and manage containers on RHEL using Podman as a rootless, unprivileged user

Write and run Ansible playbooks and roles to automate configuration, deployment, and management across multiple managed hosts

Who it is for

Aspiring Linux system administrators who want a recognised, vendor-backed credential to enter the field
IT support, helpdesk, or Windows admins looking to cross-skill into enterprise Linux and RHEL
Aspiring DevOps and cloud engineers who need solid Linux and Ansible automation foundations
Students and fresh graduates in IT or computer science aiming for a job-focused, practical skill set
Working professionals preparing specifically for the Red Hat EX200 and EX294 performance-based exams

Prerequisites

Basic comfort with using a computer and navigating an operating system; no prior Linux experience is required for the RHCSA portion
Willingness to work at the command line rather than a graphical interface
A laptop capable of running a virtual machine, or reliable internet to access the online lab environment
Basic English reading ability, since RHEL documentation and exam tasks are in English

Certification path

Two credentials, and they are not the same thing

This course prepares you for two industry-recognised Red Hat credentials: the Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA, exam EX200) and the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE, exam EX294), where RHCSA is a prerequisite for earning RHCE. Both are hands-on, performance-based exams taken on a live system where you complete real administration tasks rather than answer multiple-choice questions, so we focus on genuine practical skill; the official exams are purchased and sat separately through Red Hat, and while this course is designed to maximise your readiness, no course can guarantee a pass.

NUEXUS training certificate

QuestionsNo multiple choice; entirely task based on a live system

DeliveryRed Hat individual exam, at a test center or as a remote proctored exam

NoteRed Hat exam fees are paid separately to Red Hat and quoted per engagement. RHCE is now awarded automatically once you hold both RHCSA and the Ansible-based EX294; there is no separate RHCE exam. Certifications are current for three years. Even when NUEXUS arranges your exam voucher, the resulting certification is issued and verified by the certification body directly.
