Hi, I’m Jason Cannon, founder of The Linux Training Academy and author of best-selling Linux guides such as Linux for Beginners, Linux System Administration, and dozens more.
I’ve taught over 50,000 students through my online classes and tens of thousands more through my books.
One of the biggest problems I’d see among my students and readers was this:
- Without having to take time off work.
- Without the “bits and pieces” approach many classes teach.
- Without having to “keep up” or “slow down” to match the course’s pre-set speed.
- Without having to figure out problems on your own
- Without the pain associated with traditional Linux courses!
You just want to learn the Linux skills you’d need to address common on-the-job issues, right? Doesn’t seem like it should be too hard… but the classes and training courses out there were either (1) too expensive or (2) not practical — you’d learn a bunch of unrelated skills and try to figure out how they apply to the real world.
No fun!
Even if you earn a degree in CS, it’s very unlikely that your coursework gave you the exposure and mastery of Linux you’ll need for that first job.
That’s why I wanted to offer another way — a better way, where you had complete freedom to access the practical information you need at an affordable price, but in a supportive, interactive environment.
Here’s what’s going on in the tech world: Employers want Linux experience.
As one of my students said, “In the ever-changing IT industry, it’s a must to have some Linux experience under your belt.”
According to the Linux Foundation:
Hiring Linux workers is a PRIORITY.
81 percent of recruiters say that finding Linux talent is a priority.
Linux talent is IN DEMAND.
Most employers are looking for MORE Linux talent than other positions.
Linux experts are HARD TO FIND.
85 percent of recruiters say it’s hard to find Linux talent!
Linux pros are PAID MORE.
1/3 of companies say they pay more to Linux pros!
Until now, there was no other option. But now, you’ve got...
As far as I know, no other Linux course offers this level of real-world scenarios, in a self-paced environment — for this low price.
If you want to learn Linux Server and Command Line skills, there is NO BETTER COURSE AVAILABLE.
- A helpdesk and ticket tracking application.
- A web-based project management system.
- A centralized syslog server, complete with a web-based front-end so you can easily search through all of your Linux servers’ logs.
- An up/down monitoring system…. be notified any time there is a problem with one of your systems or applications.
- A performance metrics collection and graphing solution. You’ll get a real handle on what system utilization and load is across all of your systems. Plus, you’ll be able to spot performance bottlenecks with ease.
- A shell script that will install and configure a web application from start to finish.
- And more…

After going through “Linux in the Real World,” you’ll be able to design solutions to solve big problems that senior Linux admins encounter in the course of their work. Whether you’re angling for a promotion in your current company, wanting to transfer to the high-demand cyber-security world, or hoping to land a new job, you’ll be able to demonstrate REAL, senior sysadmin-level skills.
And here’s the best part… you’ll be honing your on-the-job skills while you learn. No “bits and pieces” of unrelated information. Your on-the-job performance will improve WHILE you learn.

Frequently Asked Questions
This class doesn’t require any previous Linux experience. Everything you need to know will be explained along the way and you’ll be given every single command to type. Also, when you enroll you get access to other supporting material that can help those new to Linux. For example, you have instant access to the “Learn Linux in 5 Days” video class and the “Linux for Beginners” PDF book.
However, those with many years of Linux experience can benefit from this course too. It’s simply a faster way to learn some very important Linux concepts and real-world solutions used in the industry today. If you want to be instantly more advanced than your colleagues when it comes to performance graphing, capacity planning, system logging, and service monitoring, then this course is for you. Because you get step-by-step implementation plans for the projects, you’ll save hours of trial and error trying to design solutions on your own.
Most courses teach you a bunch of Linux commands and then leave you to figure out what to do with them. Many students wonder when they would actually use the commands they learned. This course turns that entire process on its head. This is a project-based course. You will naturally learn all the Linux commands you need to know and when to use them as part of completing the projects and lab exercises. This way you’ll understand what each command does, when to use them, and how they all fit together.
This is the course that will make all those other courses easier or even unnecessary. Linux in the Real World will help you finally connect all the dots and put all the pieces together. You’ll finally get a cohesive understanding of Linux. Just listen to what one of my former students had to say:
“I have read several books and watched YouTube videos. Your methodical explanations and organized curriculum helped bring the material to life and helped me finally understand all those other books and videos.” -Roderick T.
- A basic understanding of the Linux command line.
- The ability to download large files of about 500 MB from the Internet.
- Access to a computer with a 64-bit processor running either Windows, Mac, or Linux. (You do not need Linux already installed to take this class.)
This class wasn’t designed to help you pass any particular certification exam, but it does solve a big problem people have when taking certification exams. Often they don’t have any real-world experience or hands-on practice using Linux before taking the exam, and they almost always fail in that situation.
It would be like reading a book about flying a plane and then showing up to take your pilot’s flying exam. If you’ve never been in the pilot’s seat, you’re not going to get your pilot’s license no matter how much you’ve read about flying. If you want to get your pilot’s license you would take lessons from a qualified instructor and practice flying!
This course gives you the qualified instructor and the practice you need.
Yes, we do! You have the option of paying the full amount upfront or making 3 monthly payments. The first payment (or full payment if you decide to pay all at once) is due when you register for the course, regardless of the official course start date. This reserves your spot in the class.
“Linux in the Real World” is different from my other courses in a few ways. First, this is a guided course. While you can work through the material at your own pace, the class syllabus is set to tackle certain topics during certain weeks. If you keep to the schedule, you’ll complete the course in four weeks.
Also, there are numerous opportunities for support directly from me: On our discussion forum, via email, and during our live webinars.
Finally, I’ve designed the course around real-world projects. Instead of teaching you bits and pieces of Linux skills, I’m leading you through actual projects you will encounter when working in Linux system administration.
