THE EVOLUTION OF RED HAT PARTNER SKILL VALIDATION

September 12, 2023
By Emily Morency
3 minute read

After introducing expanded enablement offerings for partners in 2022, our
commitment to the Red Hat partner ecosystem continues today with the launch of
an updated framework for skills validation with Red Hat Credentials and
Certifications.

This updated framework will help our partners more easily validate critical
sales, technical, and delivery skills, while better aligning with key business
outcomes, as they progress towards certification through the Red Hat Partner
Training Portal.


WHAT IS NEW? 

Based on feedback from our global network of partners, these updates are
designed to empower Red Hat partners with the tools and resources they need to
increase sales, improve customer experiences, and better deliver Red Hat-related
services.

This is achieved through 2 key developments: 

 * Red Hat Accreditations have been replaced by Red Hat Credentials and
   Certifications as the required skill validation mechanism in the Partner
   Training Portal. This creates more streamlined, clearly defined learning
   pathways and certification opportunities for partners elevating their sales
   and technical knowledge.
 * Partners now have access to new skills development programming and resources,
   and the expanded enablement offerings built to support them, including the
   same learning materials used by Red Hat’s internal sales teams.

Previous accreditations will now be optimized as credentials and certifications
as such:

 * Seller credentials. New seller credentials have replaced sales
   accreditations. Upon completion, partner associates will be able to explain
   to clients how the Red Hat portfolio addresses customer challenges, provides
   value, and addresses pain points.
 * Technical seller credentials. New technical seller credentials have replaced
   sales engineer accreditations. Upon completion, partner associates will
   understand the technical capabilities of Red Hat products for standard use
   cases, and be able to explain to clients how they address their challenges.
 * Red Hat Certifications for technical roles. Red Hat Certifications have
   replaced delivery accreditations. Available to partners through a fee-based
   exam, upon completion, partner associates will understand complex solution
   design, with highly targeted alignment of our technology to a customer's
   needs. 

Any partners with in-progress accreditations as of September 12, 2023, will be
given a grace period to complete the learning paths. Specific cut off dates can
be found in the FAQ, available via Red Hat Content Center. Any accreditations
earned prior to September 12, 2023, or during the grace period, will remain
valid for the full 2 years from completion date and remain valid for partner
contract compliance. 


HOW IT WORKS

Partner associates who are in sales and technical sales roles can now receive
digital badges for Red Hat Credentials after completing core learning paths and
associated self-paced assessments, all available at no cost through the Partner
Training Portal.  

Partner associates who are in technical roles can validate their skills with our
industry recognized Red Hat Certifications. Red Hat Training courses are
available in a self-paced online format at no additional cost to partners, 
better positioning the ecosystem to accelerate skills development and achieve
Red Hat Certification. Red Hat Certification is earned by completing a proctored
Red Hat Exam, available for purchase at a partner-exclusive, discounted rate.

You can find further details and key distinctions in the table below.

SHOWCASING YOUR SKILLS

Red Hat skills are recognized and valued around the world as an industry
standard in assessing competencies related to open hybrid cloud. Partners who
want to showcase their Red Hat skills will now be able to with verified digital
badges.

Upon earning skills through the Red Hat Partner Training Portal, partners can
use Credly to collect and manage their digital badges. Credly is an end-to-end
platform for issuing and managing digital badges and downloadable certificates.
It provides a secure means of storage, transport, and credential publishing that
adds a layer of protection against falsely claimed credentials.
