What benefits of RHCE and RHCT are provided directly by Red Hat, and for how long?
Verification services for all certificate holders are provided at Certification Central. Certificate holders and their employers or customers can type in the 15-digit RHCE number and verify that the person is really certified. RHCEs have exclusive access to RHCE Connection, a special site for RHCEs to receive special offers, discounts and benefits, as well as technical updates and access to resources. Access to RHCE Connection and its services is a value-added benefit provided at Red Hat’s sole discretion. At the present time the policy for access to RHCE Connection is that access is granted so long as a person’s RHCE certificate is current. RHCTs similarly have access to RHCT Connection. Certain other discretionary benefits of certification, such as partner programs between Red Hat and the company at which you may be employed, may require you to maintain certification on the most recent major release or otherwise on a more frequent basis than Red Hat GLS stated policy for individuals.
