This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Even if you are the only one registered, the session will still take place (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.

This training course is part of our Open Source Training Courses. Discover our other open source trainings to build, administer and secure your Linux and open-source systems.

FAQ
Linux and Unix: what is the difference?

Unix is the historical family of operating systems (AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, macOS). Linux is a kernel created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, POSIX-compatible with Unix, which powers most servers and cloud workloads today. Commands and concepts are very close.

Why learn the Linux/Unix terminal?

Because it is essential in server, cloud, DevOps, development, and security environments. A mastered terminal speeds up all operations and opens access to scripting, automation, and efficient incident resolution. MFE-IT builds that foundation.

Which commands should you learn first?

ls, cd, pwd, cp, mv, rm, cat, less, grep, find, sed, awk, chmod, chown, ps, top, kill, tar, ssh, scp. Then the concepts of pipes, redirections, and environment variables. Our MFE-IT training provides hands-on practice on real-world cases.

How long does it take to get started with Linux/Unix?

Our Linux/Unix Getting Started training runs over 2 days (14 hours) in a 100% tailor-made format. This pace lets you master the essential basics to become autonomous on the terminal.
