This training program is comprised of a set of customizable training modules for System Administrators to get acquainted on Linux platform and perform routine administration activities on Linux. After successful completion of all training modules (as described below) and thorough understanding of the concepts along with sufficient practice on commands, utilities and configuration, participants can safely apply for RHCE and LPI certification tests.

Most clients pick and choose modules that map to their immediate requirements.
Infact, the training modules and its flow are designed to be in-depth, and highly advanced than the skill-set requirements for RHCE and LPI certifications. Nevertheless, these modules have been personally designed by me, based on many years of my training experience and constant evolution - to ensure that the participants gain maximum exposure on Linux thus becoming productive and highly competent system administrators in their company.
