This course is for someone who needs basic training in
Linux, someone who is already in IT and wants to add a new skill. It is
specifically designed for those who have been really busy with their
work and don't have enough time. Now you don't have to stay awake at
night or sneak out of your lunch break. You will learn so many Linux
commands in just 2 days. Sounds unreal? Well take a look at my
syllabus and you see what I will be covering and then ask yourself if it
is worth spending a couple of hours for only 2 days:

Here is the testimonial from my students:
- To all of you that are looking for a REALLY GOOD LINUX
course, THIS IS IT, SERIOUSLY I promise you won't find a course on LINUX
here that is THIS GOOD.
-- T.J. Marstiller (Student)
- Imran is a very knowledgeable and engaging instructor. As
others have said, you can tell that he is not just trying to sell a
course, but that he is invested in giving his students a strong career
foundation with a positive and approachable attitude. He is also
entertaining with his use of pop culture and practical work examples. It
really feels like you're in a classroom with him. I'm taking this
course mainly as a hobbyist, but got a lot from it already. The homework
assignments, quizzes, and handouts help reinforce the material.
-- Raymond B. (Student)
- Main thing about course is its simplicity and the
hierarchy. Design is very good and easy which helps to understand things
better.
-- Akash Garg (Student)
- I just love the teaching ad the learning experience I am getting -- Jacob Samba (Student)
- Imran Afzal might be my favorite teacher I've EVER had. He
is funny, and engaging. The course was easy to follow, and with no
experience starting I am now extremely comfortable with Linux, and
actually really like it. He does make you do your googles, but this is
not a bad thing especially considering the nature of IT and
documentation to solve your own problems. I highly recommend.
-- Vanessa Diaz-Goumond (Student)
- The course is run very well and I really like the handouts
and the homework that is assigned. The homework helps me learn and
continue with the learning process even when adult life is still
progressing forward.
-- Thomas Rogers (Student)
- Such an amazing instructor. Imran must have put in a lot
of effort in structuring the course and taking the student step by step,
he takes his time in explaining everything, from what Linux is, how to
down load it, coding, etc. I have taken other courses from Imran. I am a
student for life. Keep it up and please keep preparing more courses for
please like us who can benefit from your way of teaching, knowledge and
experience. Thank you.
-- Ali Shiekh (Student)
- In the first place I say a big thank you to the instructor
for making such a great course. I was afraid to learn Linux. I now feel
very comfortable with Linux. I have understood both the concept behind
and the practical as well. I would recommend every one who is NEW to
Linux and wants to grab it once and for all without wasting time to go
ahead and ENROLL. You will not regret it. I would like the instructor to
do same for WINDOWS SERVER ADMIN., I don't seem to find any better and
beginner oriented course out there that could be matched with this
course. To me, it is the BEST Linux Course on Online. I just started
some real world projects with Linux after this great course, I was new
to Linux and in just a month I am on the command line always playing.
-- Opoku Bright (Student)
- I genuinely look forward to additional courses in the
future. This has been so informative. You hear the name oracle all the
time, but this was well put in layman’s terms
-- Atoofa Hasan (Classroom Student)
- Imran Afzal eats, breathes and sleeps Linux! He really
knows his stuff. I feel like he has brought me from a novice level
education to masters level in a short time period. Anyone who is looking
to get a job in Linux should definitely take this course.
