Learn to solve real system problems with our Classroom and Online RH342 Training at WebAsha Technologies. The course builds the structured troubleshooting skills that the performance-based EX342 exam tests.
The RH342 training focuses on a scientific, methodical approach to troubleshooting RHEL: gathering system information, reading logs and journals, and diagnosing and fixing boot, storage, RPM, network, kernel and security problems. Real broken-system labs prepare you for the hands-on EX342 exam.
This course suits senior Linux system administrators, technical support engineers and SREs who resolve complex issues and want an advanced Red Hat troubleshooting credential.
RHCE-level Linux administration experience is recommended. Online participants need a stable internet connection and a laptop/desktop for the live troubleshooting labs.
