Unix/Linux Certification

Information technology (IT) is a broad field that covers all aspects of managing and processing information. IT professionals design, develope, support, and manage computer software, hardware, and networks. From the exubererant growth of it's early years to the uncertainty of recent times, the IT industry has stabilized—with job growth rates now rising steadily—and continues to change in order to meet the needs of the business world.

Linux is rapidly displacing many traditional operating systems in business organizations. Open source code, less vulnerability and no licensing fees are among its attractions. This comprehensive program offers students practical hands-on experience and imparts the skills and knowledge needed to competently and confidently administer the Linux system. Topics include: Users and Groups, Policies, E-mail, writing scripts to automate day-to-day processes, security, installation and modification of the Kernel and more.
