Linux Kernel

The Linux kernel is a free and open-source, UNIX-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide. This intensive Linux Kernel training program provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the Linux Kernel.

Participants will explore the architecture, core components, and functionalities of the Linux Kernel, as well as gain practical skills in kernel programming, module development, and debugging..

Linux corporate training and certification oriented remote program aims to upskill you with Kernel Compilation, Module Development, System Call Implementation, Debugging Techniques Synchronization Mechanisms

Currently due to Covid19 outbreak, the course is available remote and however it can also be accessed online via your nearby Prog360 centre based on local availability.
