Digital credentials for Red Hat Certified Professionals

Red Hat certifications span our entire technology portfolio, bringing confidence to individuals and organizations alike. Whether it’s enterprise architecture certifications, core Linux system administration skills, developer knowledge of specialized frameworks, or emerging technologies like containers and cloud, Red Hat knows the skills that are needed for success.

Earning a Red Hat Certification is an industry-recognized achievement and we want to help you share your accomplishment with your professional network, friends, and family. To that end, we are proud to offer Red Hat digital credentials via our third-party issuance partner, Credly.

What’s a Red Hat Digital Credential?

Red Hat Digital Credentials recognize and reward learning achievements, community contributions and ecosystem engagement to drive the adoption of Red Hat technologies and to support customer success. A digital credential is earned upon meeting defined criteria, and Red Hat digital credentials can represent many types of achievements. A Red Hat digital badge is a sharable, verified, portable, data-rich form of that record.

When someone views your Red Hat Certification digital badge, they can learn more about your skills and also verify the badge’s authenticity—providing an easy way for someone to confirm your knowledge and training. You can also share your digital badge on social media, or embed it in your resume—allowing readers to immediately recognize it as a trusted Red Hat validation of your achievement. Sharing Red Hat-issued digital badges is the appropriate way to display Red Hat Digital Credentialing Program-supported achievements on social media, on the web and in other digital settings.
