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.

FAQ – Linux Administration Training
What is Linux administration?
Linux administration covers system installation, package management (apt/dnf), users and groups, permissions, services via systemd, networking, logs, scheduled tasks (cron), and backups. It is the foundation of the sysadmin profession.

Which Linux services are essential to know?
SSH, DNS, DHCP, HTTP(S) (Nginx/Apache), NTP, NFS/Samba, databases (MariaDB/PostgreSQL), logging (rsyslog/journald), and systemd services. The MFE-IT training provides hands-on practice with each service in workshops.
