Preparation

Red Hat encourages you to consider taking the course Developing and Deploying AI/ML Applications on Red Hat OpenShift AI (AI267)  to help prepare.

Exam format

Be sure to review the Red Hat Certification Program Guide to ensure you are familiar with all official policies and exam procedures before booking your session.

This exam is a performance-based evaluation of skills and knowledge required to configure and manage Red Hat OpenShift AI. Candidates perform routine configuration and administrative tasks using Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenShift AI and are evaluaates perform routine configuration and adminted on whether they have met specific objective criteria. Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform tasks similar to what they perform on the job.

Scores and reporting    

Official scores for exams come exclusively from Red Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize examiners or training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.

Exam results are reported as total scores. Red Hat does not report performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon request.
