Certified Linux Professional (CLP) Bootcamp

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 Bootcamp in July using a slightly different format to those run previously.

For those who consider themselves novices there will be a two day course on Saturday and Sunday 1st and 2nd July. People attending the two day introduction will then attend the Advanced Bootcamp running from Monday to Friday 3rd to 7th July. The Advanced Bootcamp will 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.

Course Kits are charged at £190 plus VAT for academic customers and £275 plus VAT for all other customers. Each kit contains materials for the 3036, 3037 and 3038 courses. Please note that course kits are charged separately from the course fee as some organisations sending more than one delegate prefer to purchase one kit between two people.

Delegates are responsible for arranging their own hotel accommodation. Should you need any assistance please contact Peter Atkins on 01706 871900 or email peter@mindworksuk.com
