Virtual training, which flexibly delivers live, instructor-led learning, has become a core component of modern IT skills development. As demand for scalable, role-relevant training has grown, virtual training has become a trusted way to accelerate onboarding, upskill teams, and support certification goals without the constraints of physical classrooms.

However, virtual training’s delivery model suffers from some of the same limitations as in-person training. The typical virtual course is a single, point-in-time experience with a rigid start and end date. Learners often lack the structured pre-course materials they need to ensure they are fully ready for live instruction, and after the session ends, hands-on environments and instructor access are typically no longer available. Users are then often on their own when it comes to scheduling and paying for certification exams or other means of demonstrating the skills they’ve acquired.

These gaps become increasingly apparent to organizations as they look to maximize learning outcomes and return on investment.

The Red Hat Learning Subscription Course advantage

Red Hat Learning Subscription keeps the useful parts of virtual training and improves the rest.

Red Hat Learning Subscription Course focuses on one course covering a specific Red Hat technology, providing hands-on learning designed to meet a defined business objective. Each course includes one year of self-paced access to relevant content, one instructor-led live virtual class, 100 hands-on lab hours, and one certification exam with a complimentary retake—all bundled into a single, cohesive experience.

Red Hat Learning Subscription Course maximizes the learner’s return on investment:

  • Flexible subscription model: A full year of access allows learners to move at their own pace and on their own schedule.
  • Immediate learning access: Self-paced content is available as soon as the subscription begins, so learners can prepare before attending the live class.
  • Live, instructor-led virtual training: Learners can attend one live virtual training class during the subscription period for the specific course purchased.
  • Expert support: Customers have access to a certified Red Hat expert via expert chat for course-specific consultation.
  • Comprehensive skill validation: A certification exam voucher, one exam retake, and exam readiness content are all included in a subscription.

Different learning options for different needs

Red Hat Learning Subscription Course can help you build skills one course at a time.  Learners who aim to develop broader capabilities across multiple technologies may benefit from Red Hat Learning Subscription Premium.
