Getting trained and certified as a Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS) system, network or security administrator is a great way to invest in your professional development. Sun certification can help you become a more valuable member of your IT organization and boost your career potential. IT managers know that the skills verified during the certification process are the same skills that can help lead to decreased time-to-market, increased productivity, less system failure, and higher employee satisfaction.
As we know that any IT certification path can be confusing and costly, Sun offers comprehensive Career Accelerator Packages (CAPs) that take the guesswork out of preparing for certification. Offered at little more than the instructor-led component sold individually, these packages provide an excellent value for your educational investment.
Sun CAPs can help ease the certification process by providing the right combination of classroom training, online training, online practice certification exams, and actual certification exams. The Administering Security on the Solaris Operating System course provides students with the skills to implement, administer, and maintain a secure Solaris Operating System (Solaris OS).
