How do you book a Red Hat exam ?

[Compo]

The individual exam scheduler has no EX200 exams in the UK. It shows none in the US either.

@Compo please elaborate a little more on your issue ? You mean after purchasing the exam you are not able to find any schedule / availability for EX200 in UK or US ? 

You can also raise a support case if you need any help with exam scheduling or how to schedule an exam - remote and at test centre.

Refer here : https://rhtapps.redhat.com/ies/external/public/testing-locations

I'm struggling to find how to purchase and book an exam. If I search on Red Hat's website for exam locations in the UK it returns 1 company in London, who doesn't even have the exam listed. Are the exams booked through Red Hat or 3rd party companies ?

Ah ok ! Go to this link : https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/ex200-red-hat-certified-system-administrator-rhcsa-exam , select your country and click on Get started 

Complete the purchase , you will receive an email once it is completed. Post that you can use the scheduler app https://red.ht/2FPsner to schedule the exams. 

If you are unable to find a testing centre , you can go for "remote exam" - for that please refer : https://www.redhat.com/en/resources/certification-remote-exams-FAQ 

Also please raise a support case for exam related query here : https://rhtapps.redhat.com/comments

Thank you.

What's the difference between EX200 and EX200K exams ?

Can I book the remote exam in any country ?

@Compo I would suggest you to please reach out to exam support for any help / guidance / official response in these matters : https://rhtapps.redhat.com/comments 

Please note that "Exam support link" ( https://rhtapps.redhat.com/comments ) is the official channel for raising support case and taking guidance/ help for anything related to exam. All other comments and suggestions are provisional.

I do not want to give any unverified answer because I am not from exam support - though I can help with general questions to the best of my knowledge.

So the answer to my question is; don't follow the links to the exams/exam locations or you will end up on the "Exam Scheduler" page, where it only shows external providers. This is also confusingly where Red Hat's YouTube tutorial tells you to go but doesn't provide the URL in order for you to realise it's the wrong page.

Instead you have to go to the "Red Hat Training And Certification" page, where you can purchase courses and exams.
