Red Hat Learning Subscription Course Reimagines Virtual Training
Red Hat, Wednesday, February 18th, 2026
Virtual training, which flexibly delivers live, instructor-led learning, has become a core component of modern IT skills development. As demand for scalable, role-relevant training has grown, virtual training has become a trusted way to accelerate onboarding, upskill teams, and support certification goals without the constraints of physical classrooms.
However, virtual training's delivery model suffers from some of the same limitations as in-person training. The typical virtual course is a single, point-in-time experience with a rigid start and end date. Learners often lack the structured pre-course materials they need to ensure they are fully ready for live instruction, and after the session ends, hands-on environments and instructor access are typically no longer available. Users are then often on their own when it comes to scheduling and paying for certification exams or other means of demonstrating the skills they've acquired.
These gaps become increasingly apparent to organizations as they look to maximize learning outcomes and return on investment.
