Preparation
Red Hat encourages all candidates for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Deployment and Systems Management exam (EX403) to consider taking the Red Hat Satellite 6 Administration (RH403) course. Attendance in these classes is not required, and you can choose to take just an exam.
While attending Red Hat's classes can be an important part of your preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.
Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat's products are available. Red Hat does not endorse any as preparation guides for any exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading helpful to deepen your understanding.
Exam format
This exam is a performance-based evaluation of systems deployment and management skills and knowledge. Candidates perform a number of systems administration tasks focused on configuring Red Hat Satellite Server and then use that system to deploy client systems. Candidates are evaluated on whether they have met specific objective criteria. Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform tasks similar to what they perform on the job.
Scores and reporting
Official scores for exams come exclusively from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize examiners or training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.
Exam results are reported as total scores. Red Hat does not report performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon request.

A Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®) who passes this exam will become a Red Hat Certified Specialist in Deployment and Systems Management, which also counts toward becoming a Red Hat Certified Architect (RHCA).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Why get Red Hat certified?

    Red Hat certifications are highly respected in the IT industry and validate your expertise in open source technologies, particularly Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Red Hat OpenShift.

    These certifications demonstrate your ability to design, deploy, and manage complex enterprise environments using Red Hat solutions, increasing your value to employers and opening doors to a wide range of career opportunities.

  • What to expect for the examination?

    Red Hat certification exams are performance-based, meaning you'll be evaluated on your ability to perform real-world tasks in a live environment.

    This ensures that you not only understand the theoretical concepts but also have the practical skills to apply them.

    Note: Certification requirements and policies may be updated by Red Hat from time to time. We apologize for any discrepancies; do get in touch with us if you have any questions.
