I scored 300/300 in The RHCSA Certification Exam

[incriptus]

Hello Red Hatters,

As the year opens, I’m grateful that my first email of 2026 brought the results of my EX200 Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) examination—a perfect score of 300/300.

For a fully hands-on exam known for its rigor and narrow margin for error, my initial goal was simply to pass. Achieving a perfect score was unexpected and deeply affirming—not just of the result, but of the learning process itself. Preparing for RHCSA reinforced for me that, when approached deliberately and with the right mindset, even demanding technical challenges can be navigated successfully.

This achievement was not in isolation. I benefited greatly from the Red Hat learning ecosystem and from individuals—many of whom I’ve never met—who generously shared guidance, insight, and encouragement. In that same spirit, I’m happy to give back. If you’re preparing for RHCSA and have questions about study approach, hands-on practice, or exam strategy, I’m glad to share what worked for me.

At the same time, I’m actively exploring Linux-focused roles where I can apply and continue developing these skills in real-world environments. If anyone is aware of teams that are hiring, has an opening, or would be open to a conversation or referral, I would sincerely appreciate the connection. Guidance from those already working in the field or who have taken this cert before, on the best next steps is equally welcome.

Thank you, and wishing everyone a strong start to the year!

@incriptus Wonderful ! Now you must strive for the RHCE which will also  help in your job search because by doing RHCE - you will be gaining skills in Ansible which is a very popular configuration management tool and is also used extensively in Openshift container platform ( which should be your next goal post RHCE ). 

All the very best!

Hello @Chetan_Tiwary_,

Thank you very much for the encouragement and the thoughtful guidance—I truly appreciate it. I agree that RHCE is a natural next step, particularly for building strong automation skills with Ansible, and I see clear value in how it translates to real-world operations and platforms like OpenShift. I’m approaching the next phase with focus and intention, and your advice reinforces that direction.

Many thanks again, and best regards.
