Having the opportunity to work some hand-on lab practices has helped me understand the file structure of Linux better.
By Brandi Geister on 9/24/2025
This has been a great course! This is the third RHEL 9 course I've used, and this one has been by far the best. I love that it starts at a ground level and all examples are explained in-depth. I also appreciate that the videos are short (but detailed) and there is a large focus on labs to practice. I'm also using the Red Hat RHCSA 9 Cert Guide, and the labs here are better (though the content for both compliment each other).
By Jorge Munoz on 7/23/2025
The course is really comprehensive, easy to understand and builds upon itself so you're never feeling lost. I think there are some quiz questions that are wrong, but I also went through it fast because I took this mostly as a refresher. Definitely recommend though
By Daniel Kral on 4/29/2025
This was an excellent refresher course for me since it has been a while since I have supported Linux. Very helpful!
By Rodger Sweet on 2/24/2025
This course was somewhat a review but I am still gaining more insight which will make me a better admin moving forward.
By Linh Morales on 2/18/2025
Great content and material. Very concise but some exam questions were not in previous lecture so I had to search online to answer them.
By Anonymized User on 10/29/2024
The quizzes do not align with the course content. For example, materials covered much later in the section will be on the earlier quiz. This makes for a confusing quiz taking experience. Captions are also auto-generated, which includes lots of misspellings.
By Mohamed Ahmed on 7/30/2024
I am very pleased to find this course, the explanations are clear, labs are informative. And what I like the most about it, is breaking the course into short lectures and videos, which helps in getting the information easily and being able to follow through even at a slow pace of learning. The instructor is presenting the information clearly and easy to understand.
By Zaheer din on 1/18/2024
From the get-go, stating what we will get from this course is enough for me to look forward to. So excited!!!
By Tech Start on 12/26/2023
