Red Hat Certification

Individual exams

CONVENIENT

Our exams. On your time.

Red Hat’s certification program is consistent, reliable, and trusted. Exams are hands-on, making them better indicators of your proficiency. Each exam tests your ability to perform actual IT tasks just as you will on the job.

With the ability to test remotely or take advantage of expanded testing locations around the world, Red Hat Individual Exams can help you prove your skills and prepare for a global marketplace. You can take Red Hat certification exams as an individual exam from wherever you are or on a secure, personal testing station at a Red Hat or Red Hat partner location.

In addition to our remote exam option, you can schedule an individual exam at a time and location that is best for you. Prepare at your own pace and take your exam in the most convenient setting for you.

How will I take my exam?

You can take the individual exams remotely or on an individual testing station developed by Red Hat. Remote exams can be taken virtually from your home or wherever you are, completing an end-to-end path to certification through online testing. If you choose an individual testing station, you will use a preconfigured laptop with the complete functionality required for the exam, remotely monitored by a Red Hat test proctor.

Red Hat individual exams can offer you extra time to study, giving you a flexible, convenient way to accommodate busy schedules.

After you complete your exam, you should receive your results within five business days. If you have any questions about your results, you can contact the Red Hat Certification team. If you are unsuccessful on your first attempt, you will be eligible for a free retake of the exam. The retake will appear in your scheduling application after your first exam results have been reported. To schedule the free retake, use the same process as scheduling an exam for the first time. If you pass your exam, you will receive a badge through Credly that can be shared on all social media channels.
