Operating Systems

An operating system is a layer of software which takes care of technical aspects of a computer's operation. It shields the user of the machine from the low-level details of the machine's operation and provides frequently needed facilities. There is no universal definition of what an operating system consists of. You can think of it as being the software which is already installed on a machine, before you add anything of your own.

Normally the operating system has a number of key elements: a technical layer of software for driving the hardware of the computer, like disk drives, the keyboard and the screen; a filesystem which provides a way of organizing files logically, and a simple command language which enables users to run their own programs and to manipulate their files in a simple way. Some operating systems also provide text editors, compilers, debuggers and a variety of other tools. Since the operating system (OS) is in charge of a computer, all requests to use its resources and devices need to go through the OS.

Operating System Courses

Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, UNIX, Linux

We have courses that cover the individual Operating systems. These courses are ideal for individuals who are looking to enhance their knowledge and get some hands-on interactive training without having to disrupt the way their PC is set-up or for IT professionals who require specific training in specific Operating system technologies. All courses come with manuals.

Linux+

The CompTIA Linux+ certification is a new standard of competency for technicians with six-months experience installing, operating and maintaining Linux operating systems

The Linux+ certification validates technical competency and provides a broad awareness of Linux operating systems. Those holding Linux+ certification demonstrate critical knowledge of installation, operation, administration and troubleshooting services. The demand for skilled Linux support professionals has grown significantly and candidates as well as the industry have indicated that a foundation-level certification for this job function is necessary.

Keimos Operating Systems Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This 'learning by doing' model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.
