Red Hat Training: Principles
Red Hat strives to have the most useful, practical, high quality
training on Red Hat Linux available.
At the same time, Red Hat encourages and expects Red Hat Linux users
to view training as just one component of professional development
and skills-building.
Training alone is not enough to become a competent user, operator,
system administrator or engineer. Appropriate levels and quantities
of work experience, reading, research, plus staying current with technology,
with best practices, and with user communities are all essential to turning
the skills and knowledge in a training program into high quality professional
performance on the job.
These courses are designed to provide rapid introduction to essential knowledge
and skills, not turn someone into an expert in a week. They are designed to
create a basis for further development and real-world practice. Good training
can provide a foundation; the participant must do the rest.
Course Goals and Descriptions
Please read descriptions and notes for each course carefully.
Be aware of the following:
a) Some prerequisites in the skills
path must be acquired through generally
available training or reference sources. For example, prior to taking
RH253 Red Hat Linux Networking and Security Admin course it is recommended that the participant take a standard
Internetworking with TCP/IP course or its equivalent in self-study.
This body of knowledge is widely available through training,
reference books, and the web itself.
b) Certain topics in the skills path
are trained only to an introductory
level. For example, tools or services such as perl or sendmail are entire
skill areas and professional specialties unto themselves, and could be the
subject of several days worth of training in their own right.
c) Security is a whole field of
specialization unto itself that requires
continual practice, training, tactical skills, programming, and networking
expertise. All training on security topics must be very modest in its claims.
RH253 Networking Services and Security Admin course
is only an introductory starting point for further study, preparation, and
practice in administering host and network security in an environment of
common IP services.
