Common Questions

What is the Red Hat EX180 exam?
EX180 is the Red Hat Certified Technologist in OpenShift exam. It is a hands-on, performance-based test in which you deploy, manage, and troubleshoot containerized applications running as Kubernetes workloads on a live Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.22 cluster. Passing it earns the Red Hat Certified Technologist in OpenShift credential.
How long is the EX180 exam and what format is it?
EX180 has a 2-hour time limit. It is not multiple choice — you perform routine tasks on a live OpenShift system to meet specific objective criteria. Relevant product documentation is provided during the exam, but no outside assistance or personal materials are allowed.
What OpenShift version is EX180 based on?
The current EX180 exam is based on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.22. Because multiple exam versions can be in use, candidates should confirm their designated version in the Red Hat Learning Management System (“Red Hat Certification Exam Objectives by Version”).
What are the prerequisites for EX180?
There are no mandatory prerequisites, but Red Hat recommends Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) and II (RH134) or equivalent Linux experience, plus Red Hat OpenShift Administration I: Operating a Production Cluster or equivalent experience.
What skills does EX180 test?
EX180 covers managing an OpenShift cluster (oc CLI, inspecting Kubernetes resources, collecting must-gather support data), deploying applications from images and templates, scaling and exposing apps, externalizing configuration with ConfigMaps/Secrets, provisioning persistent volumes, and configuring reliability features such as health probes, resource requests/limits, and autoscaling.
How and when do I get my EX180 results?
Results are emailed by Red Hat Certification Central, usually within three U.S. business days. Only a total score is reported; Red Hat does not break down performance on individual items. Training partners and examiners are not authorized to report scores directly.
What certification does EX180 lead to next?
The Red Hat Certified Technologist in OpenShift is a foundational credential on the OpenShift path. It leads toward the Red Hat Certified System Administrator in OpenShift (EX280) and, with further exams, toward Red Hat Certified Engineer and Red Hat Certified Architect in OpenShift.
