About This Course

As one of the most successful open source collaborations, Linux has evolved into the most reliable operating system on the planet. It’s used for embedded systems to virtually all supercomputers for a good reason. Nearly every IT job requires some Linux knowledge. This course is a combination of two courses, Linux Unhatched and Linux Essentials. Students will begin to wade into the shallow end of Linux, the back-end operating system used by global titans such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft, NASA, Tesla, Amazon and more. Students walk away with a clear understanding of Linux and are guided step-by-step through a series of hands-on virtual machine activities. Students will then continue their knowledge of Linux exam objectives that will be needed for the CompTIA A+ Certification exams and prepare you for the demanding pace of NDG Linux 1. This course is offered in partnership with Michigan Information Technology Training.
