Individually arrangedTraining: Working in Linux – Basics and Administration
The “Working in Linux” training is a hands-on workshop that introduces participants to the Linux operating system in 2–3 days — from the very basics of using the console to system administration, configuration, and remote management. With a strong focus on practice (80% exercises), participants will master the most important tools, commands, and techniques for working with Linux — from file and access rights management, through Bash scripting, to system configuration and process monitoring. The course also covers essential topics such as system architecture, file and user management, security, network configuration, and shell scripting. The program is aligned with the Linux Essentials (LPI) certification requirements. Combining solid theory with intensive hands-on training, it prepares participants for independent and confident work in Linux and for further professional development in system administration and programming.
