Overview of our Linux Courses

Our range of Linux courses takes you from an introduction all the way through to Advanced Administration, and helps achieve Certification for both LPI and RedHat.

This page includes a short description of each of the public courses we offer on Linux, and links to full descriptions of each of them. Please select this link for a list of all our scheduled courses.

 

Linux is a powerful, reliable, near-free operating system ideal for many client and server applications; both Unix and Windows boxes are being displaced by systems running Linux. We offer a suite of training courses so that you can learn Linux whether you're from a Microsoft or Unix background, whether you've been a system administrator or only a user in the past, and whether you're using Linux for a major company server or for your own laptop. The courses also help prepare you for Linux certification form RedHat and LPI (The Linux Professional Institute)

Introduction to Linux

Our Introduction to Linux course equips the novice Linux user with all the skills necessary to navigate the system and make productive use of the tools available, including the Windows systems, the vi editor and essential Linux commands. It also forms the necessary foundation for subsequent Linux courses.

Linux Utilities and Shell Programming

Our Linux Utilities and Shell Programming course provides a follow-on from the Introduction to Linux course for power users and administrators who wish to learn more of the general purpose Linux utilities, and be able to automate tasks by writing Bash shell scripts. This course not only teaches you the utilities and programming skills, but also provides many examples of useful shell scripts. A further important aspect is that you will be able to readily interpret existing scripts.

Linux Administration - Part 1

Our Linux System Administration (Part 1) course provides the opportunity to install the Linux operating system on PC systems, and to learn the skills necessary to successfully configure non-network system services, and to manage the system on a day-to-day basis. It will cover the installation of the Redhat Linux distribution, and allow the attendee to assess the content and extent of Linux's administration capabilities. Network Administration issues are covered on the Part 2 course.

Linux Administration - Part 2

Our Linux System Administration (Part 2) course provides a follow-up to Linux Systems Administration Part 1(LA1), for those who wish to network their Linux systems. The course covers the essential elements of configuring the network connection including routing, and installing major services such as NFS, NIS and DNS, plus other services. The Apache web server and SAMBA PC file and printer sharing software will also be examined, in brief, but are covered in great detail on the Linux Advanced Administration course. The course uses the CentOS and Redhat Linux distributions.

Linux Advanced Administration

Our Linux Advanced System Administration course provides a follow-up to Linux Systems Administration Parts 1 (LA1) and 2 (LA2), for those who wish to progress to the more technically complex and difficult administration tasks, and helps towards becoming certified Linux technical professionals by sitting either the RedHat or LPI certification exams. It includes major sections on Samba and Apache, DHCP server setup, Kickstart installs, etc.
