Sun - Certified System Administrator (SCSA)
A Firebrand Training
7
Day Course
Sun - Certified System Administrator (SCSA) - Overview
Seven reasons why you should sit your SCSA course with Firebrand Training
- You’ll be SCSA certified in just 7 days. With us, you’ll be SCSA trained in record time
- Our SCSA course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
- Pass SCSA first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We're sure you'll pass your SCSA course first time. But if you don’t, come back within a year, and only pay for accommodation and exams. Everything else is free
- You’ll learn more SCSA. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
- You’ll learn SCSA faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
- You’ll be studying SCSA with the best. We have won the Institute of IT Training’s "Training Company of the Year" a record three times. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 20,000 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
- You'll do more than study SCSA courseware. We use labs, case studies and practice tests to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging.
This 7 day program is an accelerated, residential, fully-immersed course intended for system administrators who are preparing to perform essential and advanced system administration procedures in the latest Solaris 10 Operating System.
The course provides students with hands-on experience working with essential and complex administration tasks. It includes the certification tests and assessments throughout the week using example test questions. Students will undertake a series of lectures and lab exercises focussing on attaining the SCSA certification.
