FAQs
Our Web & Application Server courses cover the skills required to configure, deploy, secure, and manage web and application servers using technologies such as Apache, Tomcat, Docker, and JBoss. Ideal for administrators, developers and IT professionals in server environments.
What is a web and application server?
A web server delivers static content like HTML and images, while an application server runs dynamic applications, typically using languages like Java. Working together, they enable responsive, interactive websites and enterprise-grade applications by serving content, handling user requests and managing business logic.
Are these Web Application Server courses suitable for beginners?
Yes, many of our web server courses are suitable for those with a basic technical background. If you're just starting out, we recommend beginning with either the Apache Web Server course, ideal for understanding the fundamentals of web server configuration, or the Docker Containers course, which introduces containerisation and how to manage lightweight application environments.
If you already have some experience with Java or need to work with Java-based applications, Apache Tomcat Administration or JBoss Application Server Administration may be more appropriate.
What roles are these courses suitable for, and how can they help with career progression?
Our Web & Application Server courses are designed for IT professionals looking to build or strengthen their infrastructure, deployment or DevOps capabilities. Typical roles include system administrators, application server administrators, DevOps engineers, Java developers, technical support engineers, and IT operations staff.
Whether you're starting your journey or looking to specialise, these courses equip you with the skills to support, deploy and maintain enterprise-grade applications and environments. By gaining confidence with widely-used platforms like Apache, Tomcat, Docker and JBoss, you’ll be better positioned for roles in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or technical architecture.
Are these web server courses suitable for someone looking to change career?
Absolutely. If you’re considering a move into system administration, DevOps or a related IT field, these courses offer a solid entry point. With a basic technical background, you’ll gain a strong understanding of real server environments through applied learning in areas like web server setup, application deployment, containerisation and server management.
Some of our courses, such as JBoss Application Server Administration, are aligned closely with formal certification paths, including the Red Hat Certified JBoss Administrator (RHCJA).
