The Red Hat Certification Program are IT Professional certifications for Red Hat products and general Linux related skills such as system administration on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
All certifications are given after passing exams. The program distinguishes itself in that the exams are performance-based, meaning that students must perform tasks on a live system, rather than answering multiple choice questions.
The program was launched in January 1999. As of 2010, there are nearly 75,000 Red Hat certified professionals spanning 162 countries. GoCertify considers it "the most prominent Linux certification programs".

—David Lehman (b. 1948)
