Red Hat Learning Subscription is used for employee training and learning. The e-learning solution serves as our primary training platform.

Pros and Cons
- "Red Hat Learning Subscription's hands-on lab environment enhances the learning experience by allowing people to gain more hands-on experience and practice."
- "Red Hat's product portfolio needs to expand. Currently, it focuses only on Red Hat Linux, Ansible, and JBoss, which represents a very small market."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Ansible provides automation capabilities that deliver significant value. The solution saves time, which is one of the primary benefits.
Red Hat Learning Subscription offers access to almost all courses, providing flexibility to users. Red Hat Learning Subscription's hands-on lab environment enhances the learning experience by allowing people to gain more hands-on experience and practice.
What needs improvement?
Role-based learning paths within the tool are not utilized. The course structure is relatively simple, and we do not implement role-based path setup in that manner.
Progress is tracked through skill assessments for each employee, but Red Hat Learning Subscription is not heavily used for this purpose. We have our own method to check progress and do not rely on the vendor's path tracking to monitor employees.
Red Hat Learning Subscription's learning portal is adequate and very good. However, Red Hat's product portfolio needs to expand. Currently, it focuses only on Red Hat Linux, Ansible, and JBoss, which represents a very small market. Red Hat has only two major products on the market at this moment.
Red Hat Learning Subscription's pricing is acceptable, but I would suggest splitting some categories. The learning portal currently includes everything related to all Red Hat products. However, some people focus only on specific roles. For example, some focus solely on the Ansible role, while others focus only on Linux. My team is a Linux team, so we only need content related to Red Hat Linux. Developers might want to focus on Ansible without much involvement with Red Hat Linux. If the portal could be split into separate portals such as a JBoss portal and an Ansible portal that focus exclusively on their respective course offerings, it would make selection easier. Rather than having users choose from everything and potentially only take two or three courses out of fifty or sixty available courses, categorizing the courses and reducing prices would attract more people to subscribe.
For new hire employees with no experience, Red Hat Learning Subscription definitely helps them understand red hat technologies more effectively. However, my employees have been working here for ten years. They have been studying and refreshing their knowledge across Red Hat versions six through ten, so they already understand most of the material.
For how long have I used the solution?
Ansible has been in use for approximately six to seven years. As a manager, I do not directly work with it, so I cannot recall the exact timeframe.

Pros and Cons
- "Red Hat Learning Subscription has definitely made things better because we use all Red Hat servers, which is a significant advantage."
- "It is somewhat pricey, but I used the free trial, and I want to continue with it."
What is our primary use case?
I have been using Red Hat Learning Subscription for a year now, but I did not use it throughout the whole year; I used it from time to time.
I use Red Hat Learning Subscription for learning the Red Hat operating system and Red Hat technologies.
I have used Red Hat Learning Subscription recently. I have taken Red Hat 104 and Red Hat 124, which are the entry courses.
What is most valuable?
The best feature Red Hat Learning Subscription offers is a 90-day free trial.
I really appreciated the hands-on lab, and the interface is excellent; it is smooth and intuitive.
The interface is good. I completed some labs, though I already had knowledge of how Red Hat worked, so I completed some labs on my WSL, on AlmaLinux, or on my Red Hat servers in the workplace.
Red Hat Learning Subscription has definitely made things better because we use all Red Hat servers, which is a significant advantage.
It helped our team, particularly the new members, by helping them get acclimated to the job.
What needs improvement?
I think every course should have levels. While courses do have beginner and intermediate levels, some people do not know everything, so there should be more granular options. For example, I could indicate to the course that I do not know a specific topic and request more elaboration on that subject. AI features could enhance this capability.
