System Administration Training Classes and Seminars

Many System Administrators wish to obtain the Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE) certification, the Red Hat RHCSA and RHCE, and the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) LPIC System Administrator certification. In order to complete any of these successfully, we recommend taking a training course such as, "RHCSA® Rapid Track Course", or "Linux System Administration (55187)".

Most employers are seeking candidates with a bachelor's degree or higher, and these employers generally require the systems administrators they hire to complete certification programs with various manufacturers as well. The length of time to become a systems administrator depends on the type of job you are seeking, but it can take a few months of additional learning after college to hold the in-demand certifications that will make you stand out in the job market.
