Further training in IT administration

Do you have questions about your Linux training? We will be happy to answer them.

Linux is a so-called open source operating system. As a free operating system, the Linux source code is accessible to everyone. That is why everyone can contribute to its further development. This has made Linux the largest open source software project in the world.

Linux can be run on different hardware. More and more servers, desktops and embedded devices are now running on Linux. This is partly due to the extensive functions, which can be customized as required.

The operating system is particularly popular because of its flexible areas of application. A large number of applications are supported and a high level of security is guaranteed. Linux is already used in over 95 percent of the most powerful supercomputers used in research, for example.

Linux also offers lower total cost of ownership and freedom from license restrictions. In contrast to other operating systems, Linux is free of charge. Security, reliability, cost savings - more and more companies and organizations worldwide are turning to Linux as their operating system.

Getting started with Linux can be quite challenging at first, especially working with the command line. However, Linux training offers an excellent opportunity for IT career changers in particular to understand technical contexts and develop practical skills for everyday working life in IT.

Anyone working with Linux not only gets to know a versatile operating system, but also improves their own problem-solving skills and qualifies for exciting jobs in system administration, DevOps or IT support.

Linux training is particularly suitable for newcomers and career changers in the field of system administration or DevOps. IT administrators with experience in other operating systems (e.g. Windows) who want to acquire open source skills or IT professionals without official certification can also build up demonstrable skills with Linux training. Linux training is also useful for certain support roles or for software developers who work with Linux servers.

The abbreviation "LPIC" stands for "Linux Professional Institute Certification". This certification is awarded by the Linux Professional Institute (LPI), an independent organization that offers globally recognized examinations for Linux skills.

GFN is an authorized training partner of the LPI. Further Linux training with us is your path to a recognized Linux certificate.
