FAQs
Our Linux training helps you progress from core skills to advanced technical capability. The training is hands-on and mapped to recognised certifications, enabling real-world application and long-term career development.
Why should I use Linux?
Linux is a secure and open-source operating system that powers everything from servers to cloud infrastructure. It’s widely used in DevOps, IT, and cybersecurity roles for its flexibility, powerful command line tools, and suitability for automation.
Is the Linux Introduction course suitable for someone transitioning from Windows?
Absolutely. The Linux Introduction course is ideal for those coming from a Windows background who want to understand how Linux systems work. It starts with core concepts, such as the Linux file system, basic commands and using the terminal, and builds up to process management and scripting fundamentals. The course assumes no prior Linux experience and provides clear, practical guidance for those looking to shift platforms.
Will the courses help with troubleshooting and diagnostics?
Yes. Troubleshooting is a core part of several of our Linux courses. In Linux Networking, you’ll use tools like tcpdump and Wireshark to diagnose connectivity issues. Linux Shell Programming equips you to build scripts that automate routine checks. And in Linux Automation with Ansible, you’ll explore error handling, logging and system state verification, all key to diagnosing and resolving problems efficiently in live environments.
Do I need programming experience to take a Linux course?
No prior programming experience is required for entry-level courses like Linux Introduction. These courses focus on essential Linux commands, file handling, and navigation. However, for courses like Linux Shell Programming or Linux Automation with Ansible, some familiarity with scripting concepts or command-line usage is beneficial. The course outlines clearly state any recommended knowledge, helping you choose the right level for your current skill set.
What’s the difference between Linux Shell Programming and Linux Automation with Ansible?
Linux Shell Programming focuses on scripting within the Linux environment using Bash, teaching you to automate local tasks with loops, conditionals and AWK. Linux Automation with Ansible, on the other hand, is geared towards orchestrating changes across multiple systems using YAML-based playbooks. Ansible is ideal for managing infrastructure at scale, while shell scripts are best for automating individual system tasks. Many learners benefit from doing both.
