FAQs

Linux training helps you build real-world administration and security skills through practical, focused exercises. Progress from beginner to advanced level courses, preparing for industry certification while enhancing technical skills that support career development goals.

What is Linux?

Linux is an open-source operating system that runs on everything from web servers and enterprise infrastructure to smartphones and embedded devices. It’s known for its stability, security and flexibility, and forms the foundation of many modern technologies. 

Which Linux course is right for me?

If you’re new to Linux, the Linux Introduction course is a great place to start. For those with some experience looking to build scripting and automation skills, Linux Fundamentals is ideal. If you're managing Linux systems in a business environment, the Advanced System Administration or Linux System Security courses are the best fit. 

How will training support my career development?

Each Linux course is built around practical application, using live labs to simulate tasks you’d perform in a real IT environment. From scripting and user management to system security and networking, you’ll gain the confidence to solve challenges you’re likely to face in technical roles such as system administrator, support engineer or DevOps technician. 

Are the courses suitable for different Linux distributions?

Yes. While exercises often use distributions like SUSE or Red Hat, the skills taught are relevant across most Linux variants. You’ll gain transferable knowledge in shell usage, scripting, system administration and security that can be applied across Ubuntu, CentOS, Oracle Linux and other major distributions. 

Will I learn scripting as part of these courses?

Yes, scripting is a core part of several Linux courses. Linux Fundamentals introduces you to Bash shell scripting with real-world applications like task automation, conditionals, loops and menu-driven scripts. More advanced scripting and automation concepts are explored in higher-level courses, supporting efficient system administration.

What our customers say
Testimonial
Exceptional Linux training

"The breakup of three days of fundamentals and two days of PowerShell scripting really complemented each other as I was able to embed a lot of what was learnt in the first three days at the end of the course. Mark was an exceptional trainer. He was patient and delivered the training in a way that was easily digestible."
