Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will the course Linux System Administration (LFS307): Preparation for the LFCS Certification Exam, which I am interested in, definitely take place?
The presented course has the status: GUARANTEED RUN.
This depends on the status of the selected course:
- If the date is marked as GUARANTEED: Yes, 100%. The course will take place exactly on the scheduled date and time, regardless of attendance. Even if you are the only person on the list, the course will be delivered without any additional fees.
- If the date is WITHOUT GUARANTEE (standard date): The start of the course depends on gathering the minimum number of participants. Once the group is assembled, you will receive final confirmation of delivery. If attendance turns out to be too low, we will offer you an alternative date with reasonable advance notice (often already with guaranteed status).
We do not have enough employees for a closed course. Is a public course a good choice?
Definitely! Public courses were created precisely to enable the development of individual employees or small 2-3 person teams. You only pay for your people's participation, and we add them to a group from other organizations. You gain knowledge within an optimal budget.
What happens if no one else signs up for the course Linux System Administration (LFS307): Preparation for the LFCS Certification Exam besides me?
This is the best possible situation for you! The course will still take place, and you will take part in a 'one-on-one' course with our trainer. You pay the standard price for a public course ticket, but you receive the instructor's full, undivided attention.
Which Linux distributions are the hands-on labs based on during the course?
The course prepares you to work with the leading enterprise distributions used on the market and in the LFCS exam. The lab workshops cover the Debian/Ubuntu and Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora distribution families, allowing participants to learn the specifics of various package managers (APT, RPM, dnf/yum, zypper) and differences in service configuration.
How does the course prepare participants for the LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator) certification exam?
The course program covers 100% of the scope required for the official LFCS exam. Since the certification is fully practical (performance-based), the course emphasizes intensive command-line lab exercises – from managing memory and LVM volumes to configuring network, kernel, and systemd in a real-world system.
Are modern administration tools, such as containers and Git, covered during the course?
Yes, the course addresses contemporary standards for Linux system administrators. The program includes modules dedicated to Git version control fundamentals and an overview of container technologies, helping you integrate traditional system administration with modern DevOps practices.
