Red Hat Certification Changes 2026: New Names and Five Tracks
Red Hat reorganised its certification programme on 11 May 2026. The exams themselves did not change, but many certification titles did, and every credential now sits in one of five specialisation tracks with a clear level. If you hold an RHCSA, RHCE or a Red Hat Specialist certificate, or you are planning one, this is what changed and what stayed the same.
