System administration courses in Melbourne.
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has attended Redhat Certified System Administrator training in Melbourne and would recommend it? Also interested in alternatives that might be worth a look? Many thanks, Rob.

You don't mention whether the end is a proffessional qualification and /or personal interest; as a very naive user I attended a 36 hr ,12 week evening course at Swinburne ; based on FreeBSD (so a bit off- topic).One thing that struck me; was why the subject matter was not presented at least within an over-view of the boot sequence; if not in that order ? regards Rohan McLeod

Thanks Rohan, its a bit of both, but driving force is professional. I have been using Linux for a while but never received any formal training. I would guess this is standard for many people. Which makes me wonder when would such training courses be used?

Interesting, I didn't know Swinburne ran such courses.

I don't know about in Melbourne but I recommend Professor Messer. I believe he has covered the CompTIA Linux+ certification. Because he has all the videos online you can do most of the study for nothing down and then buy in for final preparation and exam when you are ready. May not be equivalent qualification. Worth a look if you have not already.

As well as the RH courses there is also the Linux Professional Institute certifications: https://www.lpi.org/ It looks like it covers Debian and RPM based distros, SysVInit and Systemd, etc. I don't know if Jason King is still on the list but I think he used to be involved in running those exams at LCA.

I ran the RHCSA and RHCE exams and used to teach multiple courses across Europe for Red Hat UK when I lived there. It's a solid test of your ability on a Red Hat (CentOS) system. The exams are very Red Hat specific but many generic linux System Admin skills are tested as well. It's also a challenging exam; you must be confident in you skills before you do the exam. I saw many talented candidates fail under the time pressures of the exam. The courses are great for pulling your focus onto what may be tested but ASFAIK you can just do the exam part (at least you used to be able to in Europe). If cost is no issue, then I would recommend it. Especially if your focus is mainly on RHEL or CentOS. -- Tom Robinson 19 Thomas Road Mobile: +61 4 3268 7026 Healesville, VIC 3777 Home: +61 3 5962 4543 Australia GPG Key: 8A4CB7A7 CONFIDENTIALITY: Copyright (C).
