UNIX
If your business is using UNIX it’s likely that you’re using
several different versions, from different vendors, co-existing
side by side. Each of these vendors will have its own training
capabilities, often supporting vendor-specific certification
programmes.
If your IT professionals require certification then you’ll be
encouraging them to follow vendor training, especially at the
more advanced level. But what it the main reason for the
training is to help your team do their job, and do it well, in
a multi-vendor environment?
If that’s the case, then you need to help your people develop
skills that are transferable between different versions of
UNIX, and – equally important – skills that will allow them to
fully appreciate of working in a multi-vendor environment.
QA-IQ’s new generic portfolio is the answer to your
UNIX training requirements. We do not focus on
specific hardware issues – these are covered best by the
vendor. We do not prepare for any specific certification –
again, these are best handled by the vendor (take a look at our
Novell, Sun and Ubuntu training if that’s what you need).
We help prepare IT professional who need to become
proficient in using a UNIX platform in a multi-vendor
environment, where invariably the same set of principles and
techniques are applied by different UNIX versions to perform
essentially the same function.
Courses available include a one-day introduction to UNIX, ideal
if you are a decision maker who needs a high-level
understanding of this technology. The main multi-vendor UNIX
path comprises three 4-day courses, giving an introduction to
the operating system for users, scripting language programmers
and administrators.
“One of the main strengths of QA-IQ
has always been the ability to rapidly respond to
technology progress and resulting IT training demands. We
are able to achieve this because we have a well established
expertise for identifying the common denominator in the
underlying IT trends and developments, which we convert
into our generic, vendor independent curriculum, known as
'Performance’ courses. Over the years we have witnessed IT
professionals choosing our services, because we are able to
devise training paths suitable for them and relevant to
their business needs. ”
