Software packages. File archives in Linux.
Shells in Linux (SH, BASH). Linux command line interface
Understanding of Shell interpreters. Environments Variables.
Shell-scripting basics. Shell as a programming language. Linux startup scripts – examples of shell scripts
Introduction to Graphical environment (X Window, GNOME, KDE)
Linux OS Installation practice

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to work with the Linux graphical interface and file system, manage files and processes, use commands and services, write simple scripts, and create archive files.

Training start day: 2024
Training duration: 20 hours / 10 days
Training fee: AMD 62 000 (for 1.5 months)

Participants are expected to be familiar with basic computing concepts as gained from working in a PC environment. Experience in working with any operating system would be beneficial.

“LINUX Administration and Networking Basics” (Level 2)

DESCRIPTION
The course is designed for individuals who already have some experience with Linux and wish to deepen their knowledge in system and network management. Key aspects of Linux and essential commands will be discussed. After completing the course, participants will acquire Linux management and networking skills, and after the testing, they will move on to the next phase.

KNOWLEDGE TO BE GAINED
System Administration Basics
Management of Boot Process, Hard Drives, File System, Users and Groups, System Logs
Advanced BASH Shell Scripting
Linux Network Basics. TCP/IP implementation in Linux. Linux Routing.
Application Level Network Security Issues
Remote Access – SSH, SCP, SFTP

As a result of the course, participants will acquire fundamental knowledge and practical skills in Linux and network management for server administration. They will gain experience with the CentOS system and network management.

Training duration: 30 hours / 15 days
Training fee: AMD 95 000 (for 2 months)

Participants are expected to have at least basic level experience in working with some Linux operating system distribution (such as CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, etc.). Knowledge gained within “Level 1 - Linux Essentials” training course would be an advantage.

“LINUX Network Server” (Level 3)

DESCRIPTION
This course is intended for individuals with Linux experience who want to deploy Linux network servers and services. The implementation of important Linux network services will be discussed.

Training start day: 2024
Training duration: 30 hours / 15 days
Training fee: AMD 98 000 (for 2 months)

Participants are expected to have intermediate to advanced experience working with Linux (e.g., CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian) and an understanding of TCP/IP networking principles. Knowledge from the "LINUX Essentials (Level 1)" and "LINUX Administration and Networking Basics(Level 2)" courses will be an advantage.
