> While evidence suggests that RHCEs who stay professionally active can
> evolve their skills in pace with new releases of Red Hat Linux OS
> technology, it is important for Red Hat to maintain a policy for
> determining whether an RHCE or RHCT certificate can be considered
> current. Thus, verification services provided for all RHCEs at
> Certification Central <https://www.redhat.com/training/certification/>
> have always included which version a certificate was earned on, and
> whether the certificate is considered current or no longer current.
>=20
> The validity period for all RHCEs and RHCTs is now officially pegged to
> the release of the Enterprise product commercially available at the time
> certification was earned, and certification shall be current until after
> one (1) major release of the Enterprise product. All RHCEs earned on Red
> Hat Linux 7.3 or prior will be considered current until the release of
> Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES/WS 4. All RHCEs and RHCTs earned on Red
> Hat Linux 8.0 or 9 will remain current until the release of Red Hat
> Enterprise Linux 5. Validity and current status of an RHCE certificate
> will continue to be verified at Certification Central.
