Talk:Red Hat Certification Program

Master merge
I've merged all the Red Hat certifications into one article. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-13 02:47Z 
 * Good thinking. But it looks as though it needs to be done again. 74.78.116.93 (talk) 09:48, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

the separate Certifications pages share common introductions and references + further reading, that make up most of the respective articles I have tagged the pages for merging and I am hoping for consensus here.. —-— .: Seth_Nimbosa :. (talk • contribs) 04:01, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

NOTE: The articles originally merged (11 January 2009) into this Master Article are:
 * Red Hat Certified Technician
 * Red Hat Certified Architect
 * Red Hat Certified Engineer
 * RHCA

Recent changes show three Red Hat certifications that have been re-populated by User:Estreb, unmindful that these have been previously MERGED into this main master Article Red Hat Certification Program:
 * 09:08, 1 February 2009  Red Hat Certified Technician ‎
 * 09:10, 1 February 2009  Red Hat Certified Architect
 * 10:08, 1 February 2009  Red Hat Certified Engineer

Other articles are: Red Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist (very brief) and RHCA (previously moved to Red Hat Certified Architect THEN merged into this Master Article, then re-created in two separate Articles the old and the new and finally re-merged)

The Technician, Engineer, and Datacenter certifications are all very brief at the CORE and so are easily merged. These 3 will be prioritised in the merger, to be accomplished soon. —-— .: Seth_Nimbosa :. (talk • contribs) 07:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do this soon, these articles would be much better merged. I dont know how to do it so I'll leave it to the experts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.14.120 (talk) 05:44, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

New merger proposal
Since the old merger proposal seemed to have been neglected, I'm going to start a new one. I'm proposing to merge the following into this article:


 * Red Hat Certified Technician
 * Red Hat Certified Engineer
 * RHCSS
 * Red Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist
 * Red Hat Certified Architect

The reasoning remains the same as in 2009. The articles are short and notability is minor. They share the same form, references and external links. Please state your opinion. --Muhandes (talk) 12:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge - This is a good idea. Consolidating the contents of these short articles into one article would give the reader more information with less clicking; the short articles aren't really justified when one comprehensive article would arguably be more presentable and substantial.

 * Merge - yup AND let's keep things that way, this is essentially what was accomplished 2006 and again late 2009, yet some contributors keep on resurrecting old redirected pages.. some administrator maybe should LOCK redirected pages of perennially and notoriously short stub articles? —-— .: Seth_Nimbosa :.

 * Comment - It is legitimate to expand a redirect, even from a Merge, into a valid, notable and sourced article. The problem is that editors expanded them into semi-stubs, which defeats the purpose. Anyway, I keep merged articles in my watchlist, so as long as I'm active I can see if it's done. --Muhandes (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Cost
Article needs info regarding cost of each exam and the price range in the opening lines. Would the range be $400 (RHCT) — $800 (RHCE)? Qwerty800 (talk) 22:46, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's a good idea. We don't focus on pricing information. There are other more suitable places to look for that kind of information. We're building an encyclopedia here and those kinds of things are not our primary concern. Dawnseeker2000   22:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Old reference, unsourced quote
I looked at the source for "GoCertify considers it 'the most prominent Linux certification programs.'" Following the reference to http://www.redhat.com/certification/, I found this archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20100529051414/http://www.redhat.com/certification which is not the exact cited date, but it is not very long before. It does not include the quote, and nor does the next one. I'm not disputing the quote, though it is clumsy. I did find those words here. I would edit, but I work for Red Hat. Please add the archive URL to the citation and fix up the quote. -- ke4roh (talk) 17:28, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅, thanks. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:41, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Certificate Expiration
Do any of the certificates expire or require ongoing re-certifications? AdmiredSneeze (talk) 20:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Updates needed for RHEL 8/EX294/etc.
This information is pretty out of date since RHEL 8, especially the part about RHCE. In particular, I noticed no reference to the current exam needed to get the RHCE, EX294
