Certified Linux Professional (CLP) Bootcamp

Please visit: http://www.mindworksuk.com/clpboot.html to register

The CLP qualification is obtained by taking a Practicum Examination subsequent to studying the Novell 3036 (Linux Fundamentals), 3037 (Linux System Administration) and 3038 (Linux Advanced System Administration) courses.

Mindworks are pleased to be able to offer three Bootcamps starting in February, two for Novice users and one for Advanced users. Additional Bootcamps may be provided later in the year if the current set proves popular.

Novice Bootcamps are eight days in length – Saturday to Saturday. The Advanced Bootcamps are five days in length (Monday – Friday) but involve two hours work each evening after dinner. As you will appreciate, there is a lot of material to cover and so delegates are expected to read the 3036 Linux Fundamentals Self Study Kit (which will be supplied to you) prior to the first day of the course. Please note that the Practicum Examination is not provided as part of the Bootcamp as past experience has shown that people would prefer to make arrangements for this separately after they have completed the course. The Bootcamp is taught using the Self Study Kits so delegates will have all of the appropriate software to duplicate the working environments when they finish the course.

All Bootcamps include lunch and refreshments each day. Advanced Bootcamps also include dinner within the course fee.
