Yes, Definitely, you can pass RHCSA exam easily. You should join IT training Institute, from where you can get complete study materials and exam information as well as. Last year I have passed Redhat’s Certified Systems Administrator (RHCSA) Exam and in present I am working with a reputed company. If you're searching the best institute, then I would like to suggest you to go Koenig Solutions for this exam and one of the best part about this training Institute, that it's authorized training partner of RedHat. I really appreciate this Institute because they have best industry expert trainers and also provide 1-on-1 training, flip classrooms, after course technical support and much more. I am sharing with you a resource from where you can get more information about RHCSA course:
Post reported...you have re-opened five old threads, to post NOTHING BUT ADVERTISEMENTS for this 'great institute'.
But also ... "Pathetic attempts at advertising" such as this, to me also underscore (IMHO ...) the general fallacy(!) of all such "certification" programs.
Clearly implied in this marketing doggrel is something that must be near-and-dear to the heart of (at least, in the world-view of these marketers ...) "today's young workers," namely:
Quote:
If you can just "pass the test," you will automagically "get the job."
Although "a certificate" might be "icing on the cake" that one will receive upon successful completion of any sort of professional-training course, it most-certainly is not a guarantee of a job. Although the marketing drivel confidently states that "I passed the course, and now I am employed by a (conveniently un-named and ambiguous ...) 'reputable company,'" upon even the very-briefest of second-thought one immediately sees that this statement doesn't actually say a damned thing.
If only it were that easy.
But, "working with computers" is not like "flipping burgers in a restaurant," where no thought is required, and where the customer may be presumed to be 'satisfied' as long as s/he is eventually 'eating.'

Rep:
Absolutely agree, sundialsvcs, which is why I was happy you posted after me. I believe that, sadly, these certificates may result in jobs but I would would not want to encourage anybody to enter into one.
"Back in the day," community colleges (which, at that time, did not cost $100,000 a year to attend ... ...) offered a variety of certificates (and diplomas) at a very reasonable price. Lots of people got them. But, as I recall, no one then had any illusions that these people are shamelessly self-promoting:
That possession of a certificate was a guarantee of a job.
That you had to possess a certificate in order to get a job.
Yes, local employers respected the value of ongoing "employee continuing education" and supported the local colleges, sometimes tasking employees to teach evening courses at the aforesaid institutions. But, their expectations (and the expectations which they incultured in the students) was never unrealistic.
And for what it's worth, I think that companies like Red Hat are really not the ones who are promoting these unrealistic expectations of their "RHSA" and various other programs: I think that there is a surrounding sea of sharks. (And most unfortunately, I know that many of those sharks especially prey upon non-immigrants.)
I cant add or subtract anything from this post. It is from a good teacher who understands certifications.

This, to me, is a "poster-child" demonstration of the fallacy of "certifications."
Allow me to carefully explain. (Don't jump to any conclusions here ...)
School-systems all over the planet regularly produce qualified experts (with at least 12 years of experience ...) in: "passing tests."
Uh huh, they know the drill. "Stuff the information into your head, fill out the test-form, then dump the information out of your head on the way out of the examining room." Mission Accomplished, because there is one thing of which you can be quite sure: that, for the entire remaining duration of your earthly existence, you will never have to know one damn thing(!) about "13th Century English History!" (And, you are right.)
Trouble is, "certifications" are not "Tests about 13th Century English History."
They are supposed to be: "demonstrations that you actually(!) know how to swim . . . in a tankful of hungry Sharks!"
Why does this matter?
It matters because: the actual job consists of: making "a hundred ship-loads of blissful on-vacation cruise-ship passengers ... each of whom has paid thousands of dollars, a portion of which is yoursalary, utterly unaware that ... Sharks even exist!"
Certifications are a very valuable part of Continuing Professional Education. (I've actually contributed(!), over the years, to several of these curriculums.) But there is one thing ... one thing especially ... that they are not: certifications are not "A Golden Ticket!"
Certifications might well be a very good investment. (Most likely, they are a "good investment" that your employer will invest in you!) But, like all good investments, they are only as good as y-o-u make them.
