EX288 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development training and certification exam preparation centre
Red Hat issues EX288 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development (exam code EX288 exam) to validate building and shipping working software. Red Hat certifies working knowledge of its own platform and tooling, tested against the behaviour of the shipping product.
This is a senior credential. It assumes real production experience and tests judgement as well as recall. Most people sit it to formalise software delivery work they already do informally.
Our preparation runs on coding and integration exercises, and it tracks the published Red Hat objectives end to end. We lean on scenario work, because at this level the exam rewards judgement over memorisation.
The listed fee is USD 600; booked through WebAsha it is USD 299, a 10% saving. Red Hat sets the fee and it varies by region, so we confirm the current amount before you pay.
Red Hat sets the exam length, question count, passing score and validity, and changes them between revisions. Check the official exam page before booking. Our advisors also verify these details with you when the voucher is issued.

EX288 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development FAQs
EX288 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development (exam code EX288 exam) is the Red Hat credential for building and shipping working software. Treat it as a senior credential that tests judgement and production experience rather than recall.
It suits people whose work already includes building and shipping working software. You will see it on adverts for Software Developer, Application Engineer, Integration Developer and Backend Engineer. Sessions are scenario-led, since recall alone does not carry this exam.
The scope is building and shipping working software. Day to day, that means writing and debugging code, API and integration work, and testing and deployment. Red Hat publishes the full objective list and our syllabus follows it point by point.
Published pricing is USD 600, or USD 299 with WebAsha's 10% discounted voucher. Because Red Hat prices regionally, we verify the exact amount for you at booking.
The exam code is EX288 exam. Use the code rather than the title, since Red Hat has closely-named variants.
Format and scoring belong to Red Hat and are not fixed forever. The official exam page is the only reliable source for today's values, and we confirm them with you when your voucher is issued.
Red Hat sets the formal entry requirements and publishes them on the exam page. In practice, being able to write and debug code, handle API and integration work, and test and deploy without supervision matters more than any listed prerequisite.
It depends how much of building and shipping working software you already do. We would rather read your mock scores than guess a week count.
You are taught live rather than handed recordings, and the lab is yours around the clock. That matters here because coding and integration exercises cannot be absorbed by watching alone.
Yes. You get coding and integration exercises and exam-style questions built off the objective list. The per-objective breakdown tells you where to spend the next session.
Retake rules, waiting periods and any free-retake entitlement are set by Red Hat and differ between certifications. Confirm it officially first; we then rebuild your plan around what the breakdown shows.
Expiry and renewal terms belong to Red Hat and have changed before. Confirm the current terms on the official certification page. We point out the renewal path at booking so it does not surprise you years later.
Red Hat decides the delivery options (remote proctored, a testing centre, or on-site after training). We confirm which options are open to you in your country when the voucher is issued.
Yes. The vouchers are official Red Hat stock and we help with redemption. We do not sell leaked or real exam questions. That breaches Red Hat's certification policy and puts your credential at risk.
The usual destinations are Software Developer, Application Engineer, Integration Developer and Backend Engineer. A certificate alone does not land a role, but in software delivery hiring it tells employers you can write and debug code, handle API and integration work, and test and deploy without supervision.
In this area the cost of getting it wrong is concrete: an untested edge case reaches production. Preparation for EX288 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development is built around building and shipping working software, so the practice stays useful after the certificate arrives.
Yes. Teams preparing for EX288 Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Application Development train together on a schedule that fits their delivery commitments.
