Red Hat encourages all candidates for the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Red Hat Virtualization to consider taking the Red Hat Virtualization courses to help prepare. Attendance in these classes is not required; students can choose to take just the exam.

While attending Red Hat classes can be an important part of your preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.

Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat products are available. Red Hat does not endorse any of these materials as preparation guides for exams. Nevertheless, you may find additional reading helpful to deepen your understanding.

This exam is a performance-based evaluation of Red Hat Virtualization Manager administration skills and knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Why get Red Hat certified?

    Red Hat certifications are highly respected in the IT industry and validate your expertise in open source technologies, particularly Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Red Hat OpenShift.

    These certifications demonstrate your ability to design, deploy, and manage complex enterprise environments using Red Hat solutions, increasing your value to employers and opening doors to a wide range of career opportunities.

  • What to expect for the examination?

    Red Hat certification exams are performance-based, meaning you'll be evaluated on your ability to perform real-world tasks in a live environment.

    This ensures that you not only understand the theoretical concepts but also have the practical skills to apply them.

    Note: Certification requirements and policies may be updated by Red Hat from time to time. We apologize for any discrepancies; do get in touch with us if you have any questions.

  • How long is Red Hat certification valid for?
