Any chance of a Red Hat course

Firstly I'd like to also give another vote for more Linux stuff.

Hello Ronnie,
I would like to see additional Linux Certifications.
Except for the Linux+ Cert, what other certifications related to Linux is ITproTV thinking about offering? Do you happen to know the schedule for them?
Perhaps the LPI? And maybe a course on CentOS in the list of courses where I saw Wireshark and Email Encryption, the kind of "Other" section.
-
Sorry for not seeing this post before the weekend. Right now, the schedule is demand driven and so usually whatever gets highly demanded even drives out courses that we may have already planned to record. But right now, the new CompTIA Linux+ is what we have planned for the near future.
Cordially,

Just so you all know, I got my RHCSA a couple of weeks ago. I went through all the Linux+ videos, some multiple times. Then, I took the red hat boot camp followed by the exam and passed on the first try. It took me 2 months from start to finish and I had never used Linux before in my life. My boss promised me a promotion to a better job if I could get the RHCSA, so, I went for it. Master the topics in the Linux + videos and you will have 75% of what the red hat courses teach.

My vote for more Linux material. I just took the Certified Linux Administrator from the Linux Foundation. They are not playing around! The exam was pretty hard. It is 100% CLI. No multiple choice.. The exam is also very different than any exam I've taken before. You must have a web cam. They watch you, they present the things you must do and they record how you do it. They take up to three day to comeback with the results. In a few words, you better now what you are doing and be VERY GOOD and text editing!.

Would it be possible to create a course for the LFCS exam?
I ask because of the new offer from Microsoft. If you pass the 70-533 (Azure IaaS) exam along with the LFCS exam, you are granted the MCSA: Linux on Azure.

This is good info to know! Definitely something we will consider. -
Just wanted to add my support for getting more Linux material, especially RedHat. I'm working with my manager to convince my company to get us a group subscription here, and most of our teams work on RedHat systems, so it would be a huge benefit to us.

RedHat is not currently on our schedule right now. Though, it could be in our future it would not be for the RedHat certification due to fact that you can only sit for the exam only if you complete the official certification training with their authorized providers.The above statement is false. You do not have to complete an official training with any authorized provider to sit for their exams. I have 4 Redhat Certifications (RHCSA 6/7 and RHCE 6/7) . Didn't attend any official training. And it is clearly stated on their website that you do not have to attend any official training, but it will be beneficial. However, for their basic certs RHCSA and RHCE, it will be a waste of money.
Thank you

Hey thanks for letting us know It's been our assumption that this was a requirement that you attend an official Red Hat Training. But now that it's not, that's great news. We were shocked though to see the price of each exam though was now 400 USD.
The content on our site is really customer driven so, when demand rises and people up-vote this through the course request, we'll probably record that content as well.

Hello Ronnie,
I think that the demand for the Red Hat certification is up there. The request for this certification is on #4 at this time.

Thank you,

I see that there is a Red Hat course that started recording last week! Not having time to watch it live, I am REALLY looking forward to streaming / downloading it. Any details on when it will be available, and what areas of Red Hat it is intended to cover? (general install/use of GUI, vs RHCSA / RHCE prep, vs other)
Whatever it is, thank you for doing it! RedHat is in demand. I am taking RHCE in Feb, so I'll take any help I can get!

That show is in production right now. We've made it a Tech Skills Show on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This will give you real world implementation that will help you as you study for your exams but it will not necessarily be based on the exam objectives normally provided by the exam creators.
Don Pezet and Daniel Lowrie are doing a great job at showing the ins and out of working with Red Hat.
The production goal of all of our shows is that they are up and available in the 24 to 48 hr time period after the show has been recorded. Barring unforeseen delays and usually weekends (for example episodes recorded on Fridays will probably not be processed on the weekend at ITProTV) the episodes should be on the website rather quickly.

with no additional posting in quite a long time, I'm marking this solved.
