[TriLUG] Linux Training and Cert?

[Aaron Morrison via TriLUG]

Howard, 

Pay attention to the objectives for the exam. If you understand those, you should be able to pass without difficulty (since that is what the test is based on).

https://www.redhat.com/en/services/training/ex200-red-hat-certified-system-administrator-rhcsa-exam

https://www.certdepot.net/rhel7-rhcsa-exam-objectives/

Your learning style will determine what helps you best and there are good suggestions in this thread already, but I will add that certdepot.net is a good repository of study information. 

Good luck.
