FAQs

ILX's Red Hat courses build practical expertise and prepare you for industry-recognised certification, enabling you to deploy, manage, and troubleshoot enterprise Linux systems effectively across diverse and demanding IT environments.

What is Red Hat Enterprise Linux used for?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is an enterprise-grade operating system widely used in companies to power servers, cloud deployments, and data centres. It offers a secure, stable, and scalable platform for running applications, managing networks, and supporting critical workloads. RHEL is valued for its strong security features, long-term support, and compatibility with enterprise infrastructure.

Yes. ILX’s Red Hat courses are designed to align closely with Red Hat certification objectives, such as RHCSA and RHCE. They focus on practical skills and realistic scenarios, giving you the knowledge and confidence needed to attempt certification exams successfully. Please note that official certification exams are conducted on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9), so while courses on earlier versions build strong foundations, familiarity with RHEL 9 is essential for exam success. Exams are not included with the course and must be booked separately.

Are these Red Hat courses suitable for beginners?

Many of our Red Hat courses are suitable for those with basic Linux knowledge but new to Red Hat systems. However, some advanced topics assume prior experience with Linux commands and system administration. Check the course prerequisites to ensure you choose a course matching your current skills and learning goals.

We offer training across multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including RHEL 7, 8, and 9. Each course focuses on the specific features and tools relevant to that version, ensuring your skills remain current and applicable to your chosen environment.

Will I get practical experience of Red Hat on these courses?

Absolutely. All our Red Hat courses emphasise practical learning through exercises, live labs, and demonstrations. You’ll work directly with Red Hat systems, developing skills you can immediately apply in real-world environments. This approach helps deepen understanding and build practical confidence.

What careers can Red Hat training lead to?

Red Hat skills are valued across many IT roles. Completing training can lead to careers such as Linux system administrator, devops engineer, cloud infrastructure engineer, site reliability engineer, network administrator, security specialist, and platform engineer. Employers in sectors from finance and healthcare to technology and government seek Red Hat expertise to manage and secure critical systems. Certifications like RHCSA and RHCE can also support progression into senior architecture, consultancy, and leadership positions in enterprise IT.
