Short Linux and Perl courses for small groups

Around a half of my training time is spend presenting public courses - the other half goes on private courses to groups ranging in size from a handful of trainees up to (in exceptional cases) 15 or 16.

Every customer has a slightly different requirement ... so wants a slightly different agenda. Our module-based training notes allow us to add and subtract elements to tailor private courses to provide what's needed by the client, without stretching the length and covering other interesting but irrelevant topics. I'm writing about this now because I've just put together two private course programmes and felt they're worth sharing as an example of what we can do.

The Perl Bootcamp is a fast start Perl course, covering the basics of the language for newcomers to Perl who are, however, experienced programmers. Lasting for three days rather than the five days of courses like Perl Programming, it's presented for a single target application to a group who know each other well before the course even starts. We know that the course will run on after 5 p.m. each day, and we know that this customer will truly provide delegates who are all very much at a similar level, and this gives us great confidence that the intensive approach will work well for them.

Our Linux Admin Bootcamp covers some of the basics of Linux systems admin again as a very fast course for a small group of trainees who are already very familiar with Linux as users. We know there will be no need to slow down to remind people of vi, or how to rename or delete files ...
