Why did Red Hat decide to make RHCE performance-based exams?
Red Hat designed the RHCE Certificate to be performance-based for one good reason: quality. Red Hat wants the RHCE certificate to be a meaningful, serious certificate, proof of actual competency, unimpeachably better as a measure of actual skill than other OS certifications. Linux professionals want a certificate they can respect and which they know is challenging to earn. Employers need to feel confident when they hire an RHCE that the person has demonstrated the skills and competencies required to administer Red Hat systems for critical roles. Consulting companies, VARs, and resellers with RHCEs on staff are able to make a better business case to their customers, and RHCEs themselves report greater confidence, greater success with their Linux implementations for customers or their employers.
