This initiative is a direct response to the valuable insights you have provided, and we designed it to help reinforce your knowledge and improve expertise after completing a Red Hat Training course.
You now benefit from an additional 45 days of lab access following the end of your instructor-led Red Hat training course, providing a practical opportunity to review course topics at your own pace without feeling rushed. By spending more time on exercises and revisiting concepts, you can solidify your understanding and continue to apply your newfound knowledge to real-world use cases, even after the training course has officially concluded.
