LinuxCertified.com,  a  leading  provider of Linux training, will
offer  its next  weekend system  administration bootcamp on  May
5 - 6,  2001  in  San   Francisco   bay  area  (south  bay). This
workshop is designed for busy information technology  profession-
als and is designed to cover the most important Linux administra-
tion 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 actu-
al 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  environ-
ments is fueling the need for Linux certified professionals. CIOs
and managers are eager to have Linux experts in  their  organiza-
tions.  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  at-
tendees   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.
