Red Hat Academy institution tiering program

Bridging the gap between education and industry

Red Hat® Academy provides a curriculum to help education institutions keep pace with the demands of industry. The curriculum involves hands-on instruction across platform, middleware, and cloud technologies built with input from Red Hat development, support, and field consulting teams. Rather than learning theoretical skills, students learn practical skills based on use cases from thousands of enterprise implementations.

Tiering program features and benefits

The Red Hat Academy tiering program offers benefits designed to assist you in further expanding your program within your institution and the educational community. The benefits offered are based on each institution’s level of dedication to Red Hat Academy, while rewarding those who have higher engagement, consumption, and overall standing within the program.

As a Ready Academy, you will receive access to marketing and training resources. The Advanced Academy’s increased commitment to Red Hat is rewarded with enhanced benefits. And because of their focus and dedication, Premier Academy Partners have access to the highest level of benefits available.
