Customised Linux with Networking

Live Online -  February 2022

 


“It was very positive. This course was 4 days but covered a semester worth of work if it was done in college. The labs were relevant and delegates were provided the lab/coursebook for further study and practice after the course finished. GuruTeam's course was excellent and provides a deeper understanding of the architecture and how it all works. The hands-on aspect was very helpful as it helped solidify the concepts as I went along."

Time for exercises and support by the Instructor was great plus answering the questions and going out for answers and coming back with examples as brilliant.
