Study Formal Linux Course While Working
SkillsTrain, Europe’s largest blended learning IT company, has introduced a new Linux+ course, encompassing the CompTIA Linux+ examination, enabling existing IT professionals to study and qualify around existing work and personal commitments.
Using Linux as an operating system would benefit the growing demand for Linux Systems Support Engineers, Administrators and Developers. The new SkillsTrain course is designed to give students an understanding of the underlying principles of Linux, a good grounding in Unix and an understanding of platform independent skills. They can study the course around existing work commitments.
The CompTIA Linux+ credential certifies the user has fundamental management experience of Linux systems from the command line, can demonstrate knowledge of user administration, understand file permissions, software configurations, and management of Linux-based clients, server systems and security.
According to a press release, 77.8 percent of supercomputers now use Linux as an operating system. The Linux market is growing rapidly and holds around 12.7 percent of the overall server market.
“The new SkillsTrain Linux+ course is designed to allow even those with a relatively low knowledge or experience base to achieve a formally recognized Linux+ qualification,” Myra Smallman, SkillsTrain Principal said.
