Are there any good paid courses for a beginner sysadmin?

Question

Nginx

Colleagues!
I have a friend who is a relatively new sysadmin (a few lost years as an nix nix admin) who would like to retrain as a web-oriented sysadmin (nginx, apache, devworkflow, etc). I would like to give him some kind of successful course for the new year, which would give really useful knowledge, and even better, create a system in his head, on the basis of which he would be able to engage in further self-education. It would be ideal if after the end of the course, at least some quoted certificate was provided. Has anyone faced a similar issue?
Thanks, Happy Holidays everyone!
PS
The person does not know English, so the course can only be well Russian :(

Answer 1

give English courses. It is extremely difficult for an admin without at least basic English.

Answer 2

No.
It's like pickup courses - if you need them, they won't help you.
In fact, you need either a mentor, or work as a junior, or a great desire to read, and a lot of virtual machines and time.

Answer 3

Let him go to the hosting support.

Answer 4

We have several courses related to administration. You can see https://ru.hexlet.io/categories/administration/courses

Answer 5

On intuit, you can take courses and get a piece of paper for a fee, but there are often some kind of superficial ones, in real life everything is more cruel than in theory. When something doesn’t work, you need to surf a ton of forums, sometimes look for patches, patch the sources and rebuild)))) Still experiment, like set such a parameter - it works better, and it’s worse, monitor resources like habr, in general, become a system administrator only possible with experience.
At one time I administrated offices on Linux in 5 cities, what is it worth to get some kind of printer like canon or samsung on Linux - in which book will you read about this? And when gmail cuts letters from your mailer? And when Yandex gives errors when indexing sites...

Answer 6

Already answered, but a fierce plus for English courses.
