Certification preparation

Role-based learning paths

Each path combines prerequisite assessment, instructor guidance, hands-on lab work, revision checkpoints and an exam-readiness review.

Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA)

Foundation pathway for administrators responsible for core Red Hat Enterprise Linux operations.

  • Recommended sequence: RH124 and RH134, or RH199 for experienced Linux administrators
  • Practical preparation aligned to the EX200 performance-based exam
  • Core administration, storage, services, networking, security and basic containers

Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE)

Advanced pathway focused on automating Linux administration and scaling consistent operations.

  • Builds on current RHCSA-level capability
  • Automation skills commonly developed through RH294
  • Playbooks, roles, configuration management and operational automation

OpenShift Administrator

Platform operations pathway for teams managing containerised applications on Red Hat OpenShift.

  • Cluster administration and application operations
  • Security contexts, networking, persistent storage and access control
  • Troubleshooting and preparation for applicable OpenShift administration exams

OpenShift Developer and DevOps

Application delivery pathway for developers and engineers building and operating cloud-native workloads.

  • Containers, Kubernetes resources and OpenShift developer workflows
  • Builds, deployments, configuration, routes and CI/CD
  • Advanced options for microservices, service mesh and application modernisation
Learner journey

From skills baseline to exam readiness

A structured engagement reduces content gaps and ensures training is aligned to operational responsibilities rather than delivered as a generic course.

AssessIdentify current Linux, automation, container and platform skills.
PlanSelect the correct course sequence, delivery format and lab environment.
PractiseComplete guided labs, troubleshooting scenarios and knowledge checks.
ValidateRun an exam-readiness review and define the next certification milestone.
Delivery options

Designed for individuals and enterprise cohorts

Delivery can be adapted to operational schedules, geographic distribution, internal governance and workforce development targets.

Instructor-led virtual

Live remote instruction with demonstrations, guided labs and facilitated support.

Onsite classroom

Private instructor-led delivery at the client site or an agreed training venue.

Blended programme

Self-study preparation, scheduled workshops, labs, coaching and revision sessions.

Enterprise academy

Multi-cohort programmes with skills baselines, learning pathways, reporting and certification targets.

Business outcomes

Capability that transfers into operations

Training is structured to help technical teams improve platform consistency, operational resilience and delivery velocity.

Standardised administration

Establish repeatable Linux and platform operating practices across teams and environments.

Automation at scale

Reduce manual configuration drift and improve repeatability through infrastructure automation.

Cloud-native readiness

Prepare teams to deploy, secure and operate containerised workloads on OpenShift.

Security alignment

Embed access control, hardening, auditability and secure operational practices.

Workforce mobility

Create transparent learning pathways from foundational Linux skills to advanced platform roles.

Certification evidence

Support role validation through recognised, performance-based Red Hat certification pathways.
