Linux classroom training is an extremely expensive way of getting Linux commands training. And there are many different vendors that offer this training.
In some rare cases, there is some classroom training that is reasonably priced, but most of it is very expensive due to the overpriced "brand names" of some training vendors.
Linux Classroom Training Selection Tips - How NOT To Get Overcharged For Classroom Training
Here are some things to watch out for and be aware of - when selecting a Linux training vendor.
Prior to booking your classroom training, call several vendors and get this information:
he classroom trainer's "experience level" and "teaching level"
does your potential Instructor know how to teach Linux?
can he or she explain concepts so that you can easily understand them?
he length of the course: in number of days, hours per day, and all of the other classroom training costs, including training materials (Linux books, CDs, DVDs and so on)
he name of the training materials being used
are they using custom-created course materials or an off-the-shelf Linux book?
are they just using a textbook or are they using other training methods, such as Linux videos
he classroom "training time" schedule
how much of your classroom time is the Instructor lecturing on Linux concepts, and how much time on hands-on exercises, such as labs
how much time on "other" activities - such as video presentations?
he "level" of training being offered - be very careful here!
is this intro, intermediate, or advanced training?
is there a refund policy if the class doesn't run, or if you can't make it, or if it's so bad you can hardly stand it!
is there no-questions-asked moneyback guarantee?
and if so, is it a full credit, or just a credit towards the same (not very good) Linux classroom training again?
