Included with the product are dynamic and interactive hands-on exercises and quizzes designed to test your knowledge while you study. The course includes 100% coverage of exam objectives, hands-on exercises included with each lesson so you can practice what you learned in a real CLI environment, multiple-choice quizzes to help you test your knowledge, and hands-on exercises to give you the extra edge you need to excel on the exam.

Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) Exam Prep Workshop contains more than 4 hours of deep-dive training on common RHCSA exam traps, pitfalls, and difficulties. Sander van Vugt, an experienced Red Hat instructor, trainer, and author will detail the most common mistakes people make when taking the exam, so you can avoid them in the testing facility. You will then walk through a live practice exam with the author in real time, so you can experience first-hand what it’s like to take the test.

The videos consist of live trainer discussions, CLI presentations and demos, and a real-time practice exam walk-through. You will also learn about the structure of the exam, what to do when you’re stuck, how to approach questions and track time, and more.
