>             Yorkshire forward(the central funding body for Yorkshire)  has
> put up 3million pounds to be spent over three years(first year ends in
> March 2002) to enhance and capacity build vendor training across the
> region.  As you can imagine the initial list off vendors were Microsoft,
> Sisco, Macromedia, Adobe, 3comm and Oracle.  The School of computing at
> LMU has managed to get Linux (LPI certification) and Sun JAVA (certified
> programmer and developer) attached to the list.
> 
> The bid was successful and we will be putting on a range of free courses
> over the next three years. The main drive of this announcement is the free
> Linux courses.  We have set-up a training partnership with SUSE linux
> aimed at Linux Professional Institute certification.    
> 
> The first Linux course we are running (Totally free) is SUSE linux for
> Users.   This is a two day course starting on the 6th of March and again
> on the 20th of March at LMU Beckett Park campus(meals provided).   The
> idea of this course is to introduce people to SUSE and linux in general
> and send them away with a boxed version of SUSE linux 8.1 professional to
> experiment with on their own.
> 
> It is not a very technical course(aimed at newbies to linux but all are
> welcome) but it will be a pre-requisite for further free courses SUSE
> systems administrator, Linux networking 1 and 2, Security etc for those
> people who cannot evidence relevant experience.  It is also the
> preparation course for Linux professional institute exam 101 which you
> will also get free(all future courses will have the relevant LPI exam
> outcome).
> 
> The success of these initial courses will have some impact on the more
> advanced courses in the future so please help to fill them up.

> If you are interested and anyone else you know then please pass this
> information on  It will be first come first served.

> One proviso

> buy back time and resource from anyone who defaults to pass on to others
