UNIX Training with Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led UNIX and Linux training. The training can take place at our location in Farmington Hills, 20 miles outside of Detroit, onsite at your office anywhere throughout the United States, or if you prefer, instructor led live online.

UNIX is a computer operating system developed by AT&T Bell Labs.

UNIX has impressive power, but the technical competence required to operate its command-line interface caused it to fall from favor as Novell and Microsoft began shipping network operating systems in the 1990s. Quite frankly the UNIX syntax was not intuitive, and its interface was unfriendly. Microsoft made things easier for network administrators.

Now a single Graphical User Interface that is shipped and supported by all major UNIX vendors has replaced command-line syntax. We also now see companies using Linux - and a rebirth of interest in UNIX.

If you are in need of UNIX training, command-line or GUI, Michigan Technology Services, located in the metro Detroit area, is a valuable resource.

There are multiple UNIX and Linux courses available:

  • MTS–L-120 Linux Fundamentals Designed to provide the essential skills needed to be proficient at the UNIX or Linux command line, this challenging, highly praised Linux course focuses on the fundamental concepts and tools which make UNIX so powerful.
  • MTS–L-250 Enterprise Linux Systems Administration Intended for students already comfortable with working in the UNIX environment, this in-depth course helps students acquire the variety of skills needed to set up and maintain UNIX computers.

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
