A practical overview of the most important network services for an administrator: from Apache, proxy servers and Samba, through NFS, DHCP servers and LDAP, to mail servers, security and troubleshooting and monitoring.
A preparatory training for the LPI 202 exam, which is organized by Linux Professional Institute. Passing this exam and the LPI 201 exam allows one to acquire the LPIC-2 certificate – Advanced Level Linux Certification.
We offer this training, combined with the LPI 201 training, as an alternate path for our classical LPIC-2 training path (the Linux Administrator course and a supplementary course), for persons interested only in the LPIC-2 certification who already have some familiarity with Linux administration.
For persons interested in a more in-depth look at the topics covered during this training, we recommend the Advanced Linux Administrator course, which provides a thorough coverage of several advanced technologies.

Group size
Open training groups are no larger than 8 participants.
Private training can be conducted for groups of any size, according to the Customer's preference. To assure high quality and good learning environment, the group size should not exceed 12.
On-demand training costs and registration
The prices provided in the general tables cover the cost of an open (public) training for one person in London.
In case of on-demand training at Customer's premises, you provide the necessary facilities (room, computers, projector), we send a trainer to conduct the training, and the cost of a session is calculated for the whole group.
The cost does not vary significantly with the number of participants. There is no minimum number of participants. We recommend no more than 10-12 participants, as above this number, the training becomes much less effective.
The cost of an on-demand training consists of:
- the base training cost, plus
- trainer travel and accommodation charges.
The base price of on-demand training varies on case-by-case basis, but it is usually about the price of an open training for 3-5 persons (regardless of your group size).
The typical travel and accommodation charge for the EU/Schengen zone is under 1250 GBP (1500 EUR) for a 5 day session. We do our best to keep it as low as possible in your location.
The payment can be in GBP or EUR whichever you prefer. When we send you a quotation with the exact amount in your currency, that amount will be valid for 3 months, regardless of any changes in the exchange rate.
For more information, or to register a group, please contact us at groups@alx-training.co.uk and tell us:
- the course(s) that you are interested in,
- your location,
- your preferred dates,
- the number of people you wish to train,
And any other questions that you may have.
Customized training
We can also customize the training program of any of our trainings (or create a new one) according to your needs – whether you want to focus on particular solution used in your company, include material concerning a technology we do not usually cover, or create a tailor-made training.
Read more about customized training here or contact us at groups@alx-training.co.uk.
Individual consultation
For individual persons for whom all scheduled open training is inconvenient, we offer individual consultation. Virtually all of our training courses are available as such.
During individual consultations, while it can be a direct equivalent of a group training in terms of subject covered, we can also provide more than that – we can solve problems, help choose appropriate solutions and provide advice on the most effective use of chosen tools.
More information about individual consultations can be found on the separate Consulting page. In case of any question, we encourage you to contact us.
