Red Hat Certifications

Red Hat certifications are among the most respected credentials in IT. Certifications are earned when a user demonstrates, by way of a performance-based exam, the ability to solve and perform real-world tasks. A full hierarchy of credentials provides the comprehensive and flexible program required by the highly specialized enterprise IT organization of today.

Choosing the right certification depends on your background, job role and goals. Whether you have advanced or minimal experience, Red Hat has the training that will enable you to develop the hands-on, real-world skills you will for the job and the exams.

"I took training for RHCT (RH133) with Kelwin in November 2008 and overall my experience with him as an instructor was good. He's very clear and articulate in his explanations and is very good at communicating his ideas, so in general his skills as a teacher and communicator are very good. On the other hand, he's the kind of person that when he does not know something (nobody knows everything) does not evade the questions or try to give you a confusing answer (as many instructors do) to hide the fact that he doesn't know but rather is willing to work with the student to find the right answer."
