Frequently
Asked Questions
Still have questions? Our counsellors are happy to help.
RHCSA is not a mandatory prerequisite to sit EX294, but Red Hat strongly recommends it and in practice, RHCE assumes deep RHEL administration skills. Ansible playbooks manage RHEL resources — users, services, storage, SELinux, networking — and if you are not comfortable with these on the CLI, you will struggle with the exam tasks. We recommend completing RHCSA first.
