Boost your technology investment with Red Hat Training

As organizations adopt emerging technologies to accelerate innovation and remain competitive, they need the right skills to fully realize the value of their investments. This checklist explores 4 ways that Red Hat® Training and Certification helps organizations maximize the benefits of Red Hat solutions and enhance business outcomes.

Teams that build foundational skills are better equipped to capitalize on the opportunities of evolving technologies.

Many organizations lack teams with adequate expertise in areas such as machine learning (ML), AI, and data science, impeding their ability to move forward with initial use cases. Red Hat Training offers a suite of expert-created training that sets up you and your teams to more effectively work with innovative and advanced solutions.

Knowing where to start your learning journey can help you accelerate results. Red Hat Skills Assessments are a strategic, no-cost way to help you identify the most relevant training opportunities based on current knowledge.

• Choose an assessment based on the Red Hat products you are using, job roles, or IT challenges. Both team and individual assessments are available.
• The assessment will guide you or your team through a brief set of questions designed to assess current knowledge and skill level, and then compare that level to required prerequisites for the most relevant courses.
• After completing the assessment, you will receive tailored recommendations for the Red Hat Training courses that will help you close skill gaps and build expertise.

Targeted training can accelerate progress towards goals and boost innovation.

To deliver the most transformative results, training should align closely with business use cases and organizational goals. The Red Hat Training portfolio covers the complete range of Red Hat solutions and the underlying technologies that power them, so you can be sure you and your team are building highly relevant skills and developing expertise in the platforms your organization depends on.

Red Hat Training courses are created and validated by Red Hat experts and designed with an outcome-based approach to help learners develop trusted, industry-recognized Red Hat skills.

• Red Hat Training builds concrete expertise that can be used in practical applications. These real-world use cases are developed in conjunction with Red Hatters who wrote the software, making them highly relevant.
• Role-based, hands-on courses give you and your team the opportunity to apply your learnings in a lab environment and solve real challenges using Red Hat technologies. 
• Instructors are highly experienced Red Hat product specialists.
