We offer classroom and virtual sessions for our public instructor-led courses. Classroom sessions will require travel to a training facility, whereas virtual classes may be taken from pretty much anywhere as long as you have good internet. Select your course of interest from the training catalogue and find out what options (classroom or virtual) and what dates are scheduled for the course.
What time zone are public instructor-led classes held in?
Unless otherwise indicated, classroom sessions are held from 9am-5pm in local time zone of the classroom’s location and in U.S. Central Time for virtual classes.
What do I need to get setup for a class?
Unless otherwise specified, students are expected to provide their own computer systems for both classroom and virtual class sessions. For virtual sessions, students connect to the class via a video-conferencing service and so would need to have reliable high-speed internet. (A headset with microphone is recommended for better audio. Students connect to the class via a video-conferencing service provided by The Linux Foundation, though a webcam is optional for the student.) For most classes, the instructor will provide lab instances for students. About 1–2 weeks before class, students will receive a welcome email with full setup details and lab instructions. Students can also check course requirements at https://training.linuxfoundation.org/cm/prep/ (just select the specific course from the list on the right to view its requirements).
I’m trying to download and install one of the pre-built VMs, but am prompted to login. What do I do?
Please download the welcome doc from the e-learning section on https://training.linuxfoundation.org/cm/prep/ and check the Pre-Built Virtual Machine Images section for the correct credentials.
When will I get the course manual?
Course manuals are provided in digital PDF format, which will be shared via the welcome email 1-2 weeks before the class.
Is lab equipment provided?
Students are expected to provide their own computer systems for classes. Under special circumstances, certain courses (such as embedded development courses) may require lab exercises to be performed on specified hardware. For such courses, The Linux Foundation may provide the necessary kit. Please check the specific course page to confirm.
Can I record a class?
No. The Linux Foundation does not permit recording and/or reuse of its copyrighted material.
The course I want doesn’t have any scheduled class dates. Will you add more?
We add courses throughout the year, please sign up for our Training Newsletter at the bottom of the page to be notified when we have more instructor-led courses available.
How can I become an Authorized Instructor or Authorized Training Partner for The Linux Foundation?
