Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration exam (EX248, EX248K) Course Details:
The RHCJA certification is for system administrators or application developers whose responsibilities include the deployment, implementation, and management of JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) and its applications.
This credential helps to ensure JBoss enterprise solutions are optimized to meet specific needs and establishes credibility for companies and IT professionals who need to provide a high level of service to their customers.
In preparation:
Red Hat recommends that candidates earn Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) or Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) before attempting this exam, but neither is required. An understanding of core concepts in Java Enterprise Edition is useful, but candidates do not need to be developers nor does this exam involve application development tasks.
To help you prepare, the exam objectives highlight the task areas you can expect to see covered in the exam. These objectives apply to both Red Hat EAP 6 and EAP 6.3.
Red Hat reserves the right to add, modify, and remove exam objectives. Such changes will be made public in advance.
