Why Choose This Course

RH124 Red Hat System Administration I is an instructor-led course that builds the core Linux administration skills required to work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux in enterprise environments. It is designed for professionals who are new to Linux system administration and need a practical foundation in command line operations, user and group management, file system permissions, service control with systemd, secure remote access, networking basics, and package management using DNF. The curriculum aligns to the first half of the RHCSA learning path and reflects current Red Hat Enterprise Linux capabilities, including the use of the web console for common admin tasks. A certificate of course attendance is included.

The training emphasises hands-on practice so that participants can confidently perform day-to-day tasks on a single server, such as installing and updating software, configuring network interfaces, managing local users and groups, setting appropriate permissions, and monitoring or controlling services and logs for troubleshooting. You will also learn how to work efficiently at the shell, including pipes and redirection, environment variables, and text processing, as well as how to transfer or archive files safely between systems.

Completing RH124 positions learners to progress to Red Hat System Administration II (RH134) and to prepare for the Red Hat Certified System Administrator exam. For professionals in roles such as systems administration, platform engineering, service desk, or development who need to interact with Linux servers, RH124 provides relevant, immediately applicable skills. The content is suitable for global audiences and commonly delivered virtually or in-person to cohorts working across infrastructure, application, and cloud projects. A certificate of course attendance is included.
