Red Hat Linux Essentials Pre-assessment Questionnaire

[cparker]

Time to hit the books! I wouldn't mind getting some sort of a certification from Red Hat. Right now, I have NO certifications. I'd like to have A+, RHCE (or the CompTIA Linux+ or an LPI cert), MCSE/MCSA, MOUS, Webmaster, and maybe a MySQL, Oracle, or Java cert. An A+ at the very least. The problem with getting certified is that it's SOOOO EXPENSIVE!

Conclusion:
You will need to undertake substantial studying to acquire skills at this level.

Recommendation:

You must take a Red Hat Essentials class
before engaging in the study of System
Administration. Either:

1. Take the RH033 class, or:
   
2. Take classes from the Red Hat Linux Essentials eLearning curriculum, or:
   
3. Take classes from the Red Hat Linux
   Essentials curriculum from the Red Hat Academy.
   

This recommendation is based on evaluation of the brief
questionnaire that you just took. Typically, although not
certainly, the evaluation properly estimates the skills of
individual candidates. If you believe that this evaluation has
underestimated or overestimated your skills, you may choose to be
more daring or more cautious in the classes you choose.
Ultimately, you may well be the best judge of your own skills.
