Designed for Choice
- RHA 030 & RHA 130 each comprise of over 80 contact hours of workbooks, lessons, discussion material, exercises, assessments,
class management tools and live lab exams. Either course may be taught individually, over a minimum of 8 weeks, or sequentially
for over at least 16 weeks.
- Although each course requires a minimum amount of weeks of instruction, you decide how many contact hours are taught each week.
You may also teach any course as frequently as you wish during the subscription period.
- The courses are ideally designed for instructor-led classes in a computer lab - each computer will use the latest version of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux as provided with your subscription; however, you may also choose a hybrid of student self-study with
lab time - you decide on your preferred teaching method.
- There are no textbooks since the curriculum is fully web hosted, delivered and managed by Red Hat; each student and instructor
may print one copy of the material

Performance-based Assessment and Testing
Each course has 10-12 workbooks and each workbook contains a variety of lessons, each followed by live-system lab tests which provide
both student and teacher with a definitive measurement of the student's competency before proceeding to the next workbook.
Such competency measurements accompany traditional cognitive pre-tests, exercises, and final exams to measure overall curriculum
knowledge and understanding. With each course designed for demonstrating competency throughout the instruction, students are provided
the best Linux education and preparation possible.
