Accelerate IT skills and innovation

Developing the right skills accelerates technology deployments, improves productivity, and fuels innovation. Research shows that investing in workforce training helps companies adopt new technologies to deliver stronger operational and business outcomes in less time.1 Red Hat® Learning Subscription makes these achievements possible with measurable, role-based upskilling and remarkable results.

With role-based learning, Red Hat Learning Subscription equips your workforce to stay ahead of change, collaborate effectively, and deliver measurable business outcomes. The traditional one-size-fits-all approach to training no longer works for modern enterprises. Novel challenges demand more targeted and flexible learning aligned with your business goals. Hands-on labs, certifications, and practical, workflow learning ensure the acquired team skills are applied—transforming knowledge into action, and implementing successful practices across your organization.

Achieving Red Hat Certifications has been a huge milestone in my personal and professional development. It has proven my ability to tackle complex systems and projects, enhancing my contribution to my team and affirming my skills in the eyes of the industry.

Daniel Carvalho dos Santos
Red Hat Certified Professional of the Year

Why Red Hat?

Red Hat is a trusted enterprise open source partner, recognized globally for delivering useful and practical training to advance careers. Organizations rely on Red Hat Learning Subscription to help them upskill teams efficiently, reduce onboarding, ramp-up project completion time, and accelerate digital transformation initiatives.

Why now?

The acceleration of transformative technology is opening new possibilities and reshaping roles. This rapid change creates exciting opportunities for in-house IT professionals to expand their capabilities and for organizations to unlock greater value. Because skilled IT talent is in high demand, internal upskilling becomes a smarter, more sustainable choice than external hiring alone. Organizations that invest in continuous, prioritized learning not only boost efficiency and strengthen security, they also gain a competitive edge and position themselves for long-term success.

With Red Hat Learning Subscription, your organization can:

  1. Build existing employee skills for new technologies

    When adopting Red Hat platforms, teams must be in a favorable position to get up to speed quickly. Red Hat Learning Subscription offers targeted learning paths for associates to build the skills they need to deliver value starting on installation day.

    Use case
    An financial services industry (FSI) organization planning to migrate to Red Hat OpenShift® Virtualization could use Red Hat Learning Subscription to prepare their IT system administrators and operations teams. With a focused training strategy, the FSI organization could accelerate migration efforts with minimal disruption and ensure teams are ready to manage virtualized workloads within Red Hat OpenShift.

  2. Prepare for emerging roles

    As technology develops, new roles like cloud platform engineer or IT automation architect will require specialized skills. Red Hat Learning Subscription helps teams develop these capabilities internally.

    Use case
    An energy industry organization looking to integrate Red Hat OpenShift AI could use Red Hat Learning Subscription to prepare its IT team for AI adoption. By equipping their team with the desired skills, an organization could make certain it experiences a smoother implementation and maximizes the business value of its AI investments.

  3. Increase cross-functional collaboration

    Complex technology solutions require cross-functional expertise. Red Hat Learning Subscription gives developers, operations, and security teams an advanced, shared technical foundation to streamline collaboration.

    Use case A
    A healthcare industry organization modernizing its IT infrastructure could use Red Hat Learning Subscription to train both security and DevOps teams on OpenShift AI security best practices—helping improve compliance, mitigate threats, and accelerate deployment speed.

    Technology does not stand still and neither should your team. Red Hat Learning Subscription provides access to the latest courses and updates, allowing for a more rapid adoption of new IT capabilities.

    Use case B
    A telecommunications (telco) industry provider could use Red Hat Learning Subscription to keep IT automation engineers current on the latest Red Hat Ansible® Automation Platform features, accelerating adoption of new Ansible Playbook capabilities in production.

  4. Validate expertise

    Red Hat Certifications are recognized industry-wide. Red Hat Learning Subscription includes exam preparation content and practical hands-on labs that help IT professionals achieve certifications to build credibility for the individual and the organization. 

    Use case
    A global retail enterprise might use Red Hat Learning Subscription to prepare its IT staff with the required skills for the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE®) exam by following structured learning paths and practicing with hands-on labs. Your organization’s team would be positioned to build confidence and validate that they have the required skills to manage complex challenges in their Red Hat Enterprise Linux® environments.
