That's actually not true, and I find that a bit cynical coming from the
guy who used to deliver RHCE courses, with all due respect!! if you
check the RHCE FAQ, you will find that the certification will follow the
Enterprise release path which is less often (1 1/2 year minimum IIRC),
and same as other unix certifications you will be certified in a certain
release X, it is up to the person certified to keep track of the new
updates, and follow what is going on the world of linux/redhat. and it
is up to redhat to make sure that people who claim to be professionals
in using their distro are up to a certain standards.

to get the better picture from redhat themselves check :
