As one of the first companies to confirm their commitment as a Red Hat Advanced Partner, LinuxIT has taken this step to further the partnership in order to address the education needs in the market, and to widen the choice for its customers.
The award winning Red Hat training courses culminate in exams that qualify students as Red Hat Certified Engineers (RHCE), Technicians (RHCT) and Architects (RHCA). The courses are ideal for IT and network administrators, and developers who want to concentrate solely on the Red Hat distribution. Red Hat training equips the trainee with the skills and competencies necessary to manage Red Hat Linux servers for mission-critical commercial and business roles.
The Red Hat Certification is one of only two IT industry certifications that require a candidate to set up and repair an actual running system. Using performance-based testing methods designed to prove competence at real world challenges, the Red Hat Certifications ensure long term success for individuals and organisations.
Jasmine Huxtable-Wright, Global Learning Services Manager at Red Hat, comments:
“Red Hat sees LinuxIT as a key partner and places a huge amount of importance onto their skills and the influence they bear upon their customers within the SMB environment. As well as the skills and experience LinuxIT has built over the years, the company has a strong training practice that enables it to deliver high quality training courses on-site and publicly. We fully support LinuxIT’s commitment to invest heavily into promoting and delivering our courses.
”
Adrian Thomasset, Manager of LinuxIT’s Education Centre, adds: “The requirement for skilled professionals is accelerating in tandem with Linux as the world’s fastest growing operating system. LinuxIT are therefore meeting the needs of the market place in providing a complete solution through training for the systems administrator. Through our commitment to invest into the Red Hat Certification Programs, we hope to raise the awareness and widen the choice for companies to get their staff qualified in Linux, which in turn will accelerate the deployment of the open source operating system. Red Hat has a clear strategy that gives the customer ultimate freedom of choice of applications. By focusing on the Linux distribution that has notoriety for enterprise wide technologies, LinuxIT and our customers are in a strong position to capitalise further from this relationship.”
