Dear Experts,

Thanks for accepting my request to join the group

I work on SAP HANA on Linux(Redhat/Suse) and am interested in reaching intermediate level with respect to my expertise in Redhat and Suse.

Whats the best option to get certified. I have access to a lab with Redhat and Suse.

I dont think its feasible for me to attend the Vendor Trainings.

What the best material available to get certified .

Any Guidance is appreciated.

Thanks
Gerard

Welcome to LQ.

If you do a search for "RHEL certification self-study," you will find many useful links. A search for "RHEL certification books" will also turn up lots of useful links.

I never got a RHEL certification because real life intervened, but I once worked my way through a RHEL cert book and it was a rewarding experience.

It is also very helpful to use a virtualizer, such as VirtualBox, so you can create virtual machines for learning and testing.

You could study online with Red Hat.

Go to your local college for RH Course or you could purchase this RH Exam Guide Book to help.

In some cases your Employer could give you favor and help you take the course.
You won't know until you ask if he/she would do that.

Good Luck.

The best advice I can give you is, stop focusing on getting a 'certification'. Seriously....LEARN Linux, the processes, hardware, etc., as much as you can. Get the KNOWLEDGE first, then a certification will actually have some meaning.

There are far too many people who "are having the many certs", who have no ideas what they're doing. If you want to get more expertise in something, you get that by DOING whatever it is you want that expertise IN.
