"Students frequently complain that there is not enough hands-on activity in their coursework. This is definitely not the case with Red Hat - in the Red Hat Academies, students are required to actively practice everything they learn. RHA provides hard skills that can be applied to any distribution of Linux. The Red Hat Academy is, without a doubt, the most demanding and thorough Linux curriculum product on the market"
