Red Hat System Administration

About Certified Red Hat System Administration

Red Hat System Administration course is designed for IT professionals who are new to Linux and want to build core system administration skills. This course provides a hands-on, lab-based approach to managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) systems, laying a strong foundation for becoming a certified system administrator.

articipants will learn how to manage users, control services, secure the system, handle file permissions, and perform basic troubleshooting — all essential tasks for running enterprise-grade Linux environments.

Here are some of the responsibilities and skills covered in this course:

• System Access and Shell Management: RHCSAs are responsible for logging into Linux servers securely and performing routine administrative tasks using the command-line interface (CLI), primarily the bash shell.
• User and Group Administration: hey manage local users and groups, implement password policies, and control access to resources, ensuring proper identity and privilege management across the system.
• File System and Storage Management: RHCSAs create, mount, and manage Linux file systems, including partitioning and working with storage devices, ensuring data is organized, accessible, and secure.
• Package and Software Management: System administrators use tools like DNF to install, update, and manage software packages from official Red Hat repositories, keeping the system up to date and secure.
• Process and Service Monitoring:Monitoring system performance, identifying bottlenecks, and managing background processes and system daemons (with tools like systemctl) is a critical part of the role.
• Network Configuration and Remote Access:RHCSAs configure static and dynamic IP addresses, manage hostnames, and enable secure remote access via SSH for system support and collaboration.
• Basic Security and Troubleshooting:They implement foundational system security — including file permissions and firewall basics — and use log files and help utilities to troubleshoot system issues effectively.

To become a Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA), this course is your first critical step. It equips you with the foundational Linux skills needed to manage RHEL servers confidently in any IT environment. The final module includes a comprehensive hands-on review to reinforce key concepts and prepare you for certification success.
