Just fired off an email to opensystems who do redhat training in Perth to find 
that out so will let you know when they reply. Im guessing early next year as 
the course package has a release date of January 2003 and OS will organise a 
testing date (or course if needed) if enough people show an interest. Based 
off what is taught on the current RH133 course (which is what the exam is 
based off) these would be some good targets:

    * Install Red Hat Linux interactively and with Kickstart
    * Control common system hardware
    * Create and maintain the Linux filesystem
    * Configure an NFS client and autofs
    * Understand system and service initialization
    * Perform user and group administration
    * Integrate a workstation with an existing network running common network 
services
    * Configure a workstation as a client to NIS, DNS, and DHCP services
    * Administer the Linux printing subsystem
    * Automate tasks with at, cron, and anacron
    * Maintain and interpret system logs
    * Back up filesystems to tape and tar archive
    * Install, update, query and remove software packages with RPM
    * Update the Linux kernel from an RPM
    * Configure the X Window System and the GNOME desktop environment
    * Perform basic performance, memory, and process management
    * Configure basic host security
    * Perform basic troubleshooting

cheers.
