Today, with the rapid changes taking place in the information technology field, keeping your skills current requires continuous training. In today's economic climate, it is hard to find the time or the money to attend classroom training.
Linux On-line Suite Lite is a package containing three self-paced virtual classes:
- Linux Basics and Installation - Lite (self-paced virtual class) (QLXL2)
- Linux System Administration - Lite (self-paced virtual class) (QLXL3)
- Linux TCP/IP Administration - Lite (self-paced virtual class) (QLXL7)
You save 25% when you purchase this package rather than ordering each course individually.
The courses are a great alternative for individuals who need the convenience of learning outside a traditional classroom. Each course is a dynamic training experience consisting of rich content, multimedia training modules, simulations, and live e-tutors to answer all of your Linux questions.
Linux On-line Suite Lite provides approximately 60 hours of self-paced instruction and includes e-tutor support. This suite does not include hands-on labs. If you need remote labs, see:
