Program Overview: What is Unix Administration?
Unix Administration is a 23-hour program for sysadmins, DevOps, and support engineers running Unix infrastructure. Across 6 modules it covers Unix basics, system management, storage, networking, and hardening. It suits technical staff with basic Linux comfort who need professional Unix admin skills.
Training is hands-on: every concept is taught through guided labs on live Unix systems: participants manage users, provision storage, configure networking, and harden servers. The instructor coaches each lab, reviews configurations, and corrects cowboy-admin habits before they cause outages.
Teams struggle with fragile servers, untested backups, and security gaps. This program builds Unix discipline: systematic administration, tested recovery, and hardened baselines. Your team gains infrastructure that stays up.
A 5-hour capstone closes the program, where participants build a production Unix server and hand it over with documentation.

Cohorts are grouped by role and experience so every session targets the workflows your people own.
Prerequisites: This program suits technical staff with basic Linux or command-line comfort; prior admin work helps but is not required. Access to a lab VM makes exercises real. No prior Unix administration is needed, and content adapts to each cohort's environment.
Operators to Unix owners
Cohorts start with Unix foundations and system management, build through storage and networking, and finish with the hardening skills production demands.
One program grows with infrastructure careers, from operator to Unix owner.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.
Certificate of Training Completion.
On successful completion, employees receive an Edstellar course completion certificate, recognizing their commitment to ongoing learning and professional development. It validates the skills they have built and motivates them to keep growing and contribute to organizational success.
Earned, not attended. Awarded on completion of all hands-on labs and the capstone project.
