As a global leader in open-source solutions, Red Hat hosts numerous open-source projects and actively supports existing ones. In 2023, Sekom, the first Premier Red Hat partner in Turkey, was appointed as a Red Hat Advanced Training Partner. With a comprehensive Red Hat Training course and certification portfolio covering areas such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Middleware, DevOps, and Cloud, Sekom helps IT professionals gain the necessary skills and expertise to maximize the benefits of investments in open-source technologies.

As a leading provider of modern technology, Red Hat offers value-added training to professionals. According to IDC reports, Red Hat-trained and certified personnel possess more skills and stronger technological knowledge than their non-certified counterparts. Certified staff demonstrate 24% higher productivity, identify security risks 65% faster, and experience an 8% longer tenure compared to non-certified employees, making recruitment and retention easier.

Certifications obtained through training with the latest versions of the software are globally recognized, significantly benefiting your career and professional life. To determine which training is right for you, visit the Red Hat Skills Assessment page. You can also outline your learning path using the Red Hat Skills Path, allowing you to map out your training journey from introductory courses to certification exams.

You can participate in Red Hat training in four different ways

• Classroom Training: Conducted individually or in groups under the guidance of an instructor.
• On-Site Training: Designed for 6-20 participants. It is a customized training for your company/team conducted at a training center or online.
• Virtual Training: Similar to live training, conducted interactively with an instructor. It lasts 5.5-6 hours per day and includes virtual lab machines. As of 2023, Virtual Training is also available in Turkish.
• Self-Paced Training: Provides 90-day system access, with 80 hours of cloud-based labs in 10 different languages.

In addition to these options, the Red Hat Learning Subscription provides easy access to a variety of training videos, hands-on lab environments, training materials, and certification exams. Through a flexible platform, you can access all services conveniently for one year at a cost-effective price.

Upon completing the training and exams, you will gain a more comprehensive and systematic understanding of the Linux ecosystem. As highlighted in the IDC Report, a participant stated:
“When I saw how the training was structured and what the exams were testing, I realized how essential certification is. As part of the exam, trainees are required to build the environment themselves, which means they need to know how to do it properly. That’s incredibly valuable.”*
