Purchasing a bundle that includes an individual course and exam offers a price savings over purchasing the course and exam separately. Just as importantly, however, a bundle allows you to extend the value of an individual course by both testing and validating the skills you’ve learned in the course through hands-on, practical exams.

Organizations hiring employees, contractors, and consultants can look to Red Hat certifications as an input into hiring, assignment, promotion, and other management decisions. Similarly, individuals who earn these certifications benefit and see value by having official, impartial, and proven validation of their skills and knowledge.

Red Hat Learning Subscription (RHLS) plan lets you access the entire portfolio of online training, video classroom, and additional content produced only for subscribers. The lab environments are crafted so that you can gain skills and expertise with Red Hat products and architecture without spending your time on procuring and configuring local hardware. These environments are not simulations, but actual systems allocated to you for your laboratory use (subject to terms and conditions).

You can get more details about the Red Hat Learning Subscription program by reaching out to us.

Performance-based testing is testing by doing—that is, by having you perform real-world tasks similar to those you must perform in a job role. All Red Hat certification exams are performance-based tests, giving you the hands-on, practical application you need to demonstrate your skills.
