The EX318 Red Hat Certified Virtualization Administrator (RHCVA) exam continues the Red Hat tradition of benchmarking the skills of IT professionals through hands-on skills assessments. Individuals who earn RHCVA certification have demonstrated the skills and knowledge to create, deploy, and manage Linux and Microsoft Windows virtual machines hosted on either Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers or dedicated hypervisor nodes using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. An RHCVA certification assures enterprises that their virtualization solutions are administered optimally and establishes credibility for service providers.

The hands-on, half-day RHCVA exam is performance-based, which means candidates must perform tasks on live systems rather than answer questions about how one might perform those tasks. Exam results are e-mailed within five business days following the exam.
