Red Hat certification test location - NONE in the state of Wisconsin?!
Dear Red Hat team,
I strongly suggest that Red Hat open up at least one or two test locations in the state of Wisconsin for the convenience of the professionals in Wisconsin who want to earn some Red Hat Certifications.
Wisconsin is not just cows and corns, it also has many Linux professionals working and living there. I am one of them, I live in Milwaukee area, so far, the closest test location I can find is more than 100 miles away in Illinois. It takes me an entire day driving there, taking the 2 or 3 hour exam and then driving back, it is very tiring and inefficient. This can even be worse for people living in northern Wisconsin like Green Bay.
Please seriously consider this. Thanks!

Hi Ming,
I don't work for Red Hat, but some Red-Hatters do go through the community discussion forums.
There might be a means for you to take a Red Hat certification test even though you discovered there are no locations you found in Wisconsin. Please examine the pros and cons of the kiosk based Red Hat Certification tests at this Red Hat Discussion https://access.redhat.com/discussions/1263063
Please examine this link https://www.redhat.com/en/services/certification/individual-exams. I am not sure which specific Red Hat exam you are interested in, but at that link in this paragraph, click on the specific exam. After that from the drop-down menu, select "On-site exam".
Now you'll have to contact Red Hat Training directly(use this link) (and that might even be easier) and let them know of your situation. Ask them if there is a location near where you live where an "On-site exam" is available.
Ming, I recommend you contact them at that link in the last paragraph directly. Talk to them, "On-site exams" are available.
Regards,
RJ

Ming, I also found a New Horizons in Wisconsin https://www.newhorizonswi.com/training-and-certifications/technical-courses/red-hat that you might be able to try, depending on your location. They have three locations listed at this link.

I've been requesting this as well. I'd be fine with locations at technical colleges as well.
I have an RHCA and am near Milwaukee. I've had to travel to Chicago, Toronto, and Minneapolis for all my exams.
There used to be a location near the train station in downtown Chicago which was really convenient. That's no longer the case. I think Minneapolis was also retired :(
