What you'll learn
Master essential Red Hat administration techniques. Throughout this course, you’ll learn how to configure secure services, automate processes, manage containers, and fine-tune system performance. Each module is designed to develop your job-ready expertise and reinforce your ability to manage enterprise-grade Linux systems.
Efficient text editing with Vim
Develop confident, efficient workflows using the vim editor, a core tool for Linux system administrators. You’ll work with multiple editing modes, advanced navigation, registers, macros, and search techniques to handle configuration files quickly and accurately. The course also covers diff tools, environment customisation, persistent settings, and optimising vim for daily administration and scripting tasks across enterprise systems.
Advanced storage management
Build a strong understanding of modern Linux storage architecture. You’ll create and manage partitions, volume groups, and logical volumes using LVM, extend storage without downtime, and configure encrypted devices with LUKS. The course also introduces Stratis for layered storage management and covers swap configuration, helping you design scalable, secure and resilient storage solutions.
System protection with SELinux
Gain practical experience using SELinux to protect Red Hat systems. You’ll analyse access denials, interpret audit logs, and apply temporary and permanent policy changes. You’ll also explore important aspects, such as managing contexts, booleans, ports, and custom policy modules, as well as relabelling files and integrating SELinux with services such as Apache and Samba to maintain secure system operation.
Kickstart automation
Reduce manual effort and improve consistency by automating Red Hat installations with Kickstart. You’ll create complete unattended installation files, define pre- and post-install scripts, and configure installation servers using NFS, FTP, or Apache. This course supports rapid system deployment and repeatable builds across business environments.
Shell scripting skills
Develop practical scripting skills to automate routine administration tasks. You’ll write and execute shell scripts using variables, positional parameters, conditionals, and loops. The course focuses on creating maintainable scripts that support system management, reduce repetition, and improve reliability in day-to-day Linux administration.
System recovery and troubleshooting
Develop a structured approach to diagnosing and resolving system issues. You’ll explore the Linux boot process, use rescue environments, and recover from common problems such as failed boots, damaged bootloaders, and lost root passwords. This course strengthens your ability to troubleshoot under pressure using systemd tools and proven recovery techniques.

What our customers say
“Stuart was a fantastic instructor. The contents of the course were interesting and at no point did it feel like a chore. Pacing was in my opinion the most impressive aspect. Stuart managed to move quickly enough to keep everyone engaged, but at no point was anyone left behind. The mix of direct teaching, group discussion and individual tasks was great.”
