What is the Red Hat Ascend Skills Network?

The Red Hat® Ascend Skills Network provides Red Hat Partner associates with a continuous learning and enablement journey that would keep them updated on the latest with Red Hat Technologies. By assessing a partner organization’s unique situation, we are able to offer a customized learning path designed to achieve specific business outcomes. This gives partner organizations the ability to attract and train talent at scale. Register here to schedule an assessment.

The Red Hat Ascend digital badge is a testimony that the partner associate has embarked on a continuous skill  development journey and demonstrated project ready skills in one or more technologies in the Red Hat product portfolio. The Ascend journey enables the partner associate to handle technical challenges such as building robust solutions, iterating and improvising customer/joint solutions and incorporating feedback from customers.

The partner associate joins a network of Red Hat Ascend practitioners and gains access to exclusive content, technical resources, and invitations to conferences and meet-ups. The skilled pool of Ascend practitioners are members of a community of practice (COP) within their organization and participate in a platform for collaboration, sharing of ideas & peer learning and mentoring.

Start the journey and enable your team with formal online learning

Red Hat offers online, self-paced courses focused on successful customer implementations and use cases. Since 2013, Red Hat has enabled  partner organizations through the Red Hat Partner Training Portal, (PTP) a training and accreditation platform designed to empower partners and supply them with reliable guidance to support sales, improve customer service,  and deliver Red Hat solutions. Partners can access more than 60 accreditation paths in a variety of languages via web or mobile devices using their Red Hat Partner Connect login.
