Cisco Fundamentals of Unix
Instructor Training Guide
Combination Remote / In-Person Environment
January 8, 2002
Example documents are referenced in italics.
Fundamentals of Unix Combination Remote/In-Person Instructor Training should be conducted in a minimum of
three weeks of remote sessions followed by two days of in-person sessions.
The format of the class should be as follows:
I. Six remote sessions, two per week over a minimum three-week period. You may extend this over a longer period
if you wish. Each of these remote sessions should include
• A 60-90 minute virtual “meeting” using online collaboration tools and a telephone bridge during which
chapter content will be discussed and questions answered;
• Followed by 2-3 hours of individual, offline work on reading the curriculum, working through the CLI labs,
and taking the online chapter assessments.
Instructor trainees should be required to complete assigned curriculum study and lab exercises before each on-line
session.
II. Two in-person days at the training center. Topics should include installation of the Solaris OS, working through
the CDE labs, exploring the Korn and C shell labs, setting up the classroom, and networking. The final in-person
day should culminate with the proctored online and skills-based final assessments.
These remote and in-person sessions shall cover the same content and be roughly equivalent in task hours to the 5day 100% in-person training. Participants should be charged the same as if they attended the class 100% in-person.
We suggest that class size be set at 5-6 participants minimum with a maximum of 12-15. It should be emphasized
that this is NOT a 100% remote class. It will be mandatory that class members travel to the training center to attend
the two in-person days.
This class will NOT cover the Orientation Course material; an instructor will also need to fulfill the Orientation
Course requirements before being able to fully graduate from this UNIX instructor training. The Orientation Course
requirements can be met by either 1) having passed CCNA Semester 1 instructor training prior to May 17, 2001; OR
2) enrolling in, and graduating from, the Orientation Course (three in-person days or 24 hours remote).
This training is based upon the instructor trainee being provided or having access to a remote Solaris system. The
trainee will complete the assigned labs using the command line of the Solaris system. If the instructor attendees of
the class do not feel comfortable with Solaris installation and are not able to set up Solaris at their own site, as a
backup the class instructor will set up a remote Solaris system to which the attendees will be able to telnet and
complete the command line labs. Telnet_Srvr_remote_CLI_labs.doc
