SkillsTrain Introduces New 'Home Study' Linux Course


LUTON, England, May 16 /PRNewswire/ --     To meet the growing demand for Linux Systems Support Engineers,
Administrators and Developers, Europe's largest blended learning IT company,
SkillsTrain, has introduced a new Linux+ course, encompassing the CompTIA
Linux+ examination and enabling existing IT professionals to study and
qualify around existing work and personal commitments. With over three
quarters of supercomputers using Linux as an operating system, demand for
Linux Systems Support Engineers, Administrators and Developers is at an all
time high.

77.8% of supercomputers now use Linux as an operating system, the Linux
market is growing rapidly and holds around 12.7% if the overall server
market.

The new SkillsTrain course is designed to give students an understanding
of the underlying principles of Linux, a good grounding in Unix and an
understanding of platform independent skills. The CompTIA Linux+ credential
certifies the user has fundamental management experience of Linux systems
from the command line, can demonstrate knowledge of user administration,
understand file permissions, software configurations, and management of
Linux-based clients, server systems and security.

SkillsTrain Principal Myra Smallman said, "The new SkillsTrain Linux+
course is designed to allow even those with a relatively low knowledge or
experience base to achieve a formally recognised Linux+ qualification. This
is widely recognised as demonstrating competence and skill in using Linux,
which is why we selected it as the accreditation standard for our new course.

Because of its flexible nature, students can study the course around
existing work commitments to achieve a qualification which will thoroughly
equip them to work with Linux and give them an edge in the IT jobs market".
