Impact on the organization
- With a widely installed base of Linux servers, services, and cloud applications, many organizations have large business and technical workforces who require introductory Linux training to work with a variety of Linux distributions. These personnel must maintain a proficiency of fundamental Linux skills to perform their assigned roles and support activities. This training provides an organization with a standardized, comprehensive Linux training for the business and support workforce who are not system administrators or engineers.
Impact on the individual
- The Getting Started with Linux Fundamentals (RH104) course provides students with a comprehensive user-focused Linux proficiency, working from both a graphical desktop and the command line. Although participants do not require any prior UNIX or Linux experience, this course is designed to create a more comprehensive understanding of Linux concepts. With the skills learned in this course, Linux users will be able to navigate and be productive in performing roles and tasks on various Linux distributions.
