Weekend System Administration bootcamp W/free Linux laptop!


LinuxCertified.com, a leading provider of Linux training, will offer its
next
weekend System Administration bootcamp on January 20-21, 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.
