Red Hat Academy

Add/replace your Linux curriculum

Linux is the fastest growing operating system in the world and is used among a host of applications and hardware within the IT architecture. Our curriculum is 100% web-based for more flexible access and delivery options. Red Hat will edit exisiting courses and add new courses to keep the material current and relevant to the expected knowledge and skills in the industry.

Provide students measurable assessments

Our curriculum provides hands-on, live-system, performance-based measurements for every workbook in every course. Students must actually demonstrate and prove their competency on the operating system for every workbook taught. Both teacher and student will know exactly how well the student is understanding the material as they progress throughout each course. RHA is the only performance-based, web-delivered Linux curriculum available.

Decide annually how to maximize enrollment opportunities

Since RHA is an annual subscription service, you can decide every year which courses to use, which departments will use them and how frequently the courses will be offered in order to maximize your enrollment opportunities.

Offer the only Red Hat Academy program in your area

Red Hat wants every school partner to get as many enrolled students as possible; therefore, we won't agree to another RHA school partner close enough to you whereby that partner could compete and jeopardize your enrollment without your expressed written consent.

Choose to offer students the Red Hat Certification exams

Red Hat's Enterprise Linux is the most widely adopted Linux o/s in the business/government market. Students will learn critically important Linux skills in addition to skills specific to Red Hat's Enterprise version, making the students that much more valuable to the business IT market for any IT career.

The Academy allows you to teach, test and offer our RHCT exam on campus for any and all interested students.
