UNIX Systems

If you’re an IT professional, or even an experienced IT user, chances are that you will at some point use a computer system that works with the UNIX operating system. If you're familiar only with DOS or Macintosh computers, trying to use UNIX can be very confusing.

I believe strongly in making people aware of courses available to them which don't involve going to university or studying full time. It's a really good route to take.
