What will I be able to do after finishing this course?

You will be able to create and manage users and groups, control who have access to a system, partition and mount storage, keep software up to date, fine-tune file access beyond basic permissions, and backup and restore data. These skills give youa strong base for administering Linux systems in real IT environments.

What roles does this course prepare me for?

This course helps build skills for roles such as Linux Administrator, Systems Administrator, DevOps Engineer, Cloud Support Associate, and IT Support Specialist. It's also a strong next step if you have completed Linux Foundations and want to move from using Linux to administering it.

Is this course useful even if I'm not planning to take the RHCSA exam?

Yes. While this course is aligned with RHCSA (EX200) objectives, the skills, user and storage management, access control, and package management, are the same skills working Linux administrators use daily, whether or not certification is the goal.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
