Course Goals

Linux as a seasoned server operating system can be completely administered from the command line. This class endows ambitious end users and future Linux administrators with the required theoretical and practicalknowledge to do so.

Basic Linux knowledge as detailed in the LPI101a:Hands on Introduction to Linux is a prerequisite for this class. In particular, participants should be familiar with the shell and the basic command-line tools.


Course FAQ

      How do I reserve a space on the course? To Top
We require a deposit of R1 500 before the course begins. This will guarantee you a place on the next course. As a result, it's normally a good idea to reserve your space early to avoid being bumped to the next course.
 
 
      What is the policy regarding the deposit? To Top
Should you have already reserved your seat on the course (i.e. you've paid the deposit) and an unforeseen event occur, preventing you to come on your scheduled course, our policy for deposit's are as follows:
 

Should a student cancel 72 hours (3 days) before commencement of a course, he/she can attend the same course at any time within 6 months of the date of the initial course; failure to do so will result in the student forfeiting all monies paid.

Should a student cancel within 24 hours before commencement of a course, a 10% penalty fee is lost from the total amount of the course (to offset our costs), but the student can still attend the course within 6 months as detailed previously.

Knowledge  
      What about certification? To Top

We are an approved training centre for the Linux professionall's institute (LPI). The LPI is an internationally recognised Linux certification which certifies that a candidate is proficient in any distribution of Linux. This is incredibly important, because although some distribution specific certifications are internationally recognised, they are not necessarily used a great deal overseas.

For more information, please call visit www.lpi.org, or contact us.
 

      What makes Tangent's courses so special? To Top
Well, we certainly like to think that we offer the best Linux training in South Africa both in terms of quality of product, and in terms of affordability. Our course notes are continually being maintained to keep current with the ever changing Linux and IT universe.

Not only that but we try to keep our training courses very practical, and very informal, and our trainers are never afraid to get their hands dirty - an approach that our students find very helpful!

Why not consider attending the follow up course, the LPI102a: Linux System Administration (Kernel and Shell), and the LPI102b: Linux Network Administration. They cover different, and wider areas of Linux, and is an essential component to succesfully attaining your LPIC1 certification.
