I would say that it's a good introductory course to using the command line within different structured areas of Ubuntu : https://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=533 Any experience using command line is useful. It is aimed at Sys Admins. After a while the knowledge needed is extensive, so is the knowledge gained : there is no end to the learning process. With a background in networks, I wanted a structured course in order to gain experience with Linux/Unix command line, which is extensive. This course has really got me into Ubuntu. I found the book 'Ubuntu Linux' by Chris Nergus and Francois Caen to be useful in broadening and sometimes deepening the course. The Ubuntu Prof Course has more command line than the Linux equivalent LPIC-1 and is less explanatory. The two are now considered separate qualifications. Although the Ubuntu Prof Course really needs to be done in the context of providing the basis for the Server and Cloud Computing Courses. Each module ends with a quiz and the course is just completed : unless there is a surprise exam waiting for me ! The course is self-paced with a maximum of one year to access the materials on-line. One surprising aspect of the course was that i was also able to quickly understand the Windows file and command system. My hope is that the Server and Cloud Courses come up to the professional level of Cisco Certification Courses. It would be good to build learning groups around the Ubuntu Prof Course.
