Academy introduction E-mail

The Linux academy train students full time over a 4 month period to become a Linux System Administrators and are then placed at Open Source related companies for a further 6 months internship.

Duration: 4 Months training with 35% theory and 65% practical ratio.
  6 Months internship at an Open Source related company.
   
Curriculum: The full training academy curriculum can be found HERE.
  In short the student will be trained in Linux basic administration, Linux networking, Linux network services (mail servers, file servers, web servers etc.), security and  BASH scripting.
 
Practicals and additional modules:

The difference compared to our classroom training is that we have a lot of hours available for practicals. We will also include some topics not available in classroom training like building an Asterisk PABX system.

The practicals however are the big difference. The students will configure real servers that are hooked up to the Internet. Each academy has 4 live Internet servers so that the students can get the full practical experience needed to administer real live servers. The configurations of these servers are done over and over again by the students and different set-ups and scenarios will be practiced. 

Having one server acting as a spam trap forwarding non spam mail to another server for collection and redistributing mails to mailboxes locally as well as mailboxes on yet another server is the type of practicals the students will do.
