Course Overview
The Ansible for Beginners course by Ansible is designed to introduce IT professionals to the core principles of automation using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This foundational training prepares learners for the Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam (EX294), a performance-based certification highly regarded across the industry.

With over 60,000 organizations globally adopting Ansible for IT automation, including 90 of the Fortune 100 companies, demand for certified professionals continues to grow, making this certification a strategic career move for those entering the automation space.
Participants engage with key technologies such as Ansible Playbooks, Ansible Vault, Ansible Roles, Ansible Content Collections, YAML, and the Ansible development environment in Visual Studio Code.
