Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the AD221 training course

Is the Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud-native Integration (EX221) exam included in the AD221 course fee, and what is the exam cost if separate?
The AD221 Cloud-Native Integration with Red Hat Fuse and Apache Camel course fee usually excludes the EX221 exam. The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Cloud-native Integration exam costs $500 USD. Check your specific enrollment bundle, as some subscriptions include a voucher.
What training formats are available for AD221, and does Koenig offer Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling?
Koenig provides AD221 via live online, classroom, 1-on-1, and private group sessions. We offer Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling for select public classes to ensure your training proceeds regardless of enrollment numbers. Flexible weekend batches are also available for busy professionals.
How long is lab access provided after completing AD221, and what type of environment is used?
You receive 45 days of post-course lab access. This uses a cloud-based, vendor-hosted OpenShift environment featuring Red Hat Fuse 7.10. This persistent sandbox allows you to master cloud-native integration skills through hands-on practice without time constraints.
What is Koenig's rescheduling and cancellation policy for the AD221 course?
Reschedule your AD221 training for free if requested 10+ days before start. Cancellations within 10 days incur a 50% fee. You may reschedule once. Refunds remain claimable for one year. We offer a 100% refund if you are dissatisfied with training quality.
What is the format, duration, number of questions, and passing score for the EX221 certification exam?
The EX221 exam is a 4-hour, performance-based assessment. It contains zero multiple-choice questions, requiring real-world integration tasks on live systems. You must achieve 210 out of 300 points (70%). All configurations must persist after reboot to be graded as correct.
How long is the Red Hat Certified Specialist certification valid, and what is the renewal process and cost?
The Red Hat Certified Specialist credential is valid for 3 years. Renew by retaking the EX221 exam or earning a higher-level certification. The renewal fee is $500 USD. Expired certifications require re-earning from scratch, so prioritize timely renewal to stay current.
