Look through the curriculumIs Linux Core right for you?
This is an intensive, structured program for people ready to commit. You don’t need prior Linux experience, but you do need the time and the drive.
A strong fit if you…
- Want to move into a System Administrator or Linux Engineer role
- Work in help desk or IT support and want the next step up
- Are changing careers and want structure, not another video playlist
- Can attend two evenings a week plus Friday study hall
- Have basic comfort with computers and a laptop with a mic and camera
Probably not the right fit if you…
- Want a free or self-paced video course
- Need a certificate in a few weeks with no hands-on work
- Can’t attend live sessions regularly
- Are only looking up a single command or a quick fix

Every topic is taught with the real-world tasks you’ll handle as a Linux System Engineer, from building the VM to securing the network.
