Red Hat Certification Program For Education

Posted by Hemos on from the certify-rectify dept.

Frank Caviggia writes "The Inquirer has a story up about Red Hat providing educational institutions with the ability to certify students as Red Hat Certified Technicians (RHCT) and Red Hat Certified Engineers (RCHE) how this will relate to Microsoft's MSCE program. You can find the story here. Red Hat has more information on the program here."

    I can think of certifications that I'd like to have, and Red Certified Hat Engineer is not one of them.

    It's funny. Laugh.

      Oh, you'd be surprised how few Certified Hat Engineers there are.

      The Red ones are even rarer.

    It stands for Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer in case you were wondering.
    Really? I was under the imprssion it stood for Minesweeper Consultant, Solitaire Expert. Or possibly Must Consult Someone Experienced.

    Back when brainbench was doing the free cert thing, I noticed they had a cert for AOL User. I couldn't resist taking it, even though I hadn't used AOL for nearly 6 years.

    I passed it, and got the cert in the mail. It's a great conversation piece. "Certified AOL User" :)

    I think they should call them Certified Linux / Unix Engineers. Who could resist the acronym?

      I would be more likely to hire a Certified Linux Installation Technician. But maybe that's just me.
