Join The University of Arizona South for a one-week, hands-on certificate-based class on RHEv4 covering the essentials to run, secure and administer the OS. Class concepts will be tailored to meet the needs of federal government operations on Ft. Huachuca in JITC, ISEC and NETCOM. Enrollment is limited to just 12 students to ensure hands-on time and a quality learning environment for you. If you're new to Linux this class will cover what you need to know - and if you've 'played' with the OS before this class would be formal learning and methodology to your skill set while filling in the gaps.
INSTRUCTOR: David Harper
Please note this class uses Red Hat Linux. Please contact the UASCE office to suggest other 'flavors' of Linux to be taught.

Please realize that it is nearly impossible to learn everything there is to know about Linux in a single course, so the better prepared you are, the more you are willing to commit to study outside the classroom, and the more dedicated you are to passing the certification exam, the better your chances of success on the exam will be. If there is sufficient interest, future classes on other topics in Linux can be taught, please speak with John DeLalla in the UASCE office for details.
