Unlike many other online courses platforms, Skillshare does not offer certificates at the completion of a course – not even for an additional fee. However, you can post your class project publicly and/or add it to your personal portfolio to demonstrate the knowledge that you learned during the Skillshare course.
The most popular Linux course on Skillshare is called Complete Linux Training Course to Get Your Dream IT Job. More than 3,600 students have enrolled in it, which is a much higher enrollment number than the next leading Linux course on Skillshare. More than half of students say the course exceeded their expectations, while 96% say that it either met or exceeded expectations.
The training course is designed to give beginners a complete foundation in fundamental Linux topics such as installation, configuration, administration, troubleshooting, the command line and operating system tools. It also includes a resume and interview workshop to help students prepare to get their dream IT job.
This Linux course has 212 lessons spread across 10 modules, which we will break down more in-depth in the next section; there is also a bonus section on advanced topics such as VMware and filesystem corruptions. In addition to the lectures, the course includes quizzes, homework and handout materials to mimic a live classroom environment.
All told, the course includes more than 33 hours of instruction and work, making this one of the most comprehensive Linux courses out there—not just on Skillshare but compared to many other educational platforms as well. Many other introductory Linux courses only include 2-3 hours of video content and cover the very basics of Linux, whereas this comprehensive course covers it all.
