Red Hat Certifications

With nearly 75,000 Red Hat certified professionals spanning

162 countries, Red Hat certifications are among the most highly
regarded in the IT industry. That is because Red Hat's perfor-

vironments. Because of this method of testing, our certifications
continue to be in high demand by employers and IT professionals.
Red Hat offers a full hierarchy of credentials to provide a compre-
hensive and flexible program required by the most competitive
enterprise IT organization. Determining the right certification(s)
