Course Overview
Linux powers a large proportion of modern infrastructure, cloud platforms, and enterprise systems. This programme introduces the core Linux concepts and practical skills required to work confidently with Linux environments. Learners explore how Linux systems are structured, how to navigate the command line, and how to perform everyday system tasks.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, participants gain hands-on experience using the Linux terminal to manage files, users, and system processes. The programme focuses on real-world usage, helping learners understand how Linux operates in IT support, development, and infrastructure environments.
