This instructor led Linux System Administration (LPI & CompTIA) training course is designed to teach the key administration, security, networking and performance tasks required on Linux Enterprise system.
Similarly, the course is targeted to closely follow the official Linux Professional Institute (LPI) curriculum and CompTIA Linux+ certification curriculums.
Delegates who wish to work towards achieving the LPI or CompTIA Linux+ certifications will find this course a good basis for LPIC-1: 101-400 and 102-400 exams or CompTIA Linux+: LX0-103 and LX0-104 exams.
The appendixes also include other related topics that would be useful reading for delegates preparing for certification.
Note: Should the delegate only require knowledge of Red Hat Linux then they should instead consider attending our range of Red Hat Linux Administration courses.
