Why SYS-ED for UNIX Training
UNIX has been strategically positioned to serve an important role as the base operating system for web servers, application development, and as virtual machines to IBM mainframe operating systems. SYS-ED's UNIX courses reflect our longstanding consultancy experience and multiplatform expertise with UNIX variants and a comprehensive range of open source and proprietary software. SYS-ED's UNIX training melds industry standard content with a variety of real-world implementations of the UNIX-variant operations systems which highlight the transitional and new featureset. Our consultancy derived courses reflect a specialized expertise in system administration, performance design, scripting, and application development for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and health care providers. Few software or consulting companies have been providing UNIX training services longer or conducting better UNIX courses than SYS-ED.

UNIX Courseware by SYS-ED
Industry experts agree that the documentation available for supporting open source software and code does not provide a comparable degree of completeness in relation to proprietary software. An important component in SYS-ED's delivery of UNIX training has been the development of UNIX courseware: student hand-outs, sample programs, skeleton programs, workshops, and training aids. They are designed to help business, webmasters, and IT professionals acquire specific skillsets and code and debug application programs.

The collective efforts of our subject matter experts are managed by IT professionals who have multidisciplinary skillsets in information technology, graduate degrees in computer science, management, business administration, and authoring industry standard text books. The classic principles of adult learning are applied to interpreting and translating subject matter into performance objectives, narrative descriptions and diagrams which trace the design, architecture, and program logic to industry- and client-specific examples. The courseware utilizes a variety of presentation formats: textual, tabular, diagrammatic, bullet point, and code snippets. SYS-ED's courseware library has been incrementally augmented, revised, and maintained. It is highly respected in evolutionary information technology.

New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision
In order to validate the quality of the body of our work, SYS-ED’s core UNIX curriculum has been submitted to the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision.

Consultation Prior to Accepting a Training Assignment or Enrolling an Employee in a SYS-ED Course
It is standard operating procedure to schedule a telephone consultation with our Director of Education or Curriculum Manager. As part of this process we will review the subject matter, sample programs, workshops, and installation standards and provide a written training plan. For organizations evaluating whether to send an employee to a SYS-ED course, we will require that profile form be submitted by both the manager sending the employee and the employee who will be attending. It is our prerogative to ensure that the employee has the prerequisite background and is placed in the appropriate course. Not everyone is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course.

Educational Consultancy and Value Added Service
SYS-ED’s UNIX training is supported through our technology exchange websites. And if an organization’s operational objective is to provide UNIX training with its own personnel, then train-the-trainer sessions can be provided through our New York schedule.
