How the heck do you figure that?

In the very worst case, with releases being made every 12 months, then you 
have to take courses and an exam every two years. But this assumes that you 
don't do any work at all, don't keep up with the material yourself, and 
need to be taught everything twice.

In the best case, you learn on your own (perhaps even the first time, 
perhaps from the second onward), and you take only the exam for $750. If 
releases are 18 months apart, then it cost you $250/year to be RHCE 
certified. If you are actually working in the field on these systems and 
you keep one box or two at home to play with, I don't think you should need 
any of the courses.
