LinuxCertified.com, a leading provider of Linux training, will
offer its next weekend system administration bootcamp on August
4 – 5, 2001 in San Francisco bay area (south bay). This workshop
is designed for busy information technology professionals and is
designed to cover the most important Linux administration areas.

In addition to carefully designed lecture material delivered by
experienced Linux professionals, there is a heavy emphasis on
hands-on learning. The training starts two weeks before the
actual class,with access to an online Linux server, where students
complete few challenging pre-class activities. Attendees get a
powerful Linux laptop on their arrival, along with other class
materials. They load Linux on their laptop during the class, and
use it for all the class activities and assignments. At the end
of the class they take this laptop with them to further enhance
their Linux expertise. Absolute beginners with no UNIX experience
can first come to the popular “Linux for Beginners” class and
subsequently join the system administration bootcamp.

Rapid growth of Linux into corporate and government IT environments
is fueling the need for Linux certified professionals. CIOs and managers
are eager to have Linux experts in their organizations. A certification
provides a tangible mechanism for their hiring evaluation, as well as a
means to market the prowess of organizations.

“As an independent IT consultant I am always on my toes to learn
new technologies, without much free time to devote to classes.
The LinuxCertified.com bootcamp was a perfect way for me to jump
start my Linux knowledge. I can now use Linux as a valuable tool in
my career,” said Taylor Cottam, an independent consultant who joined
one of the LinuxCertified.com weekend bootcamps.

This weekend bootcamp is specially designed to prepare the attendees
for the objectives of Level 1 certification exams offered by Linux Professional
Institute (LPI). The workshop also meets the objectives of the Red Hat
Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam and Sair Linux & GNU certification (LCA).

Our attendees build a strong sense of community with our instructors,
fellow students, and our network of recruiters and companies looking for
Linux consultants.
