What training courses does man7.org offer?

Updated

man7.org lists training courses as one of its main offerings, alongside The Linux Programming Interface, conference presentations, the man-pages project, and the online manual pages. The site is Michael Kerrisk's personal and project hub, so the training is tied to his own teaching rather than to a large catalog from multiple instructors. The available page evidence confirms that training courses exist as a section of the site, but it does not include course names, formats, schedules, or registration details. Those specifics have to be checked on the site itself.

What the site confirms

The man7.org homepage presents these sections:

  • Training courses
  • The Linux Programming Interface
  • Conference presentations
  • The man-pages project
  • Online manual pages
  • Articles
  • Blog
  • About
  • Contact and Impressum

Because "Training courses" appears as a top-level item, it is a distinct part of the site rather than a subsection buried under another topic. The instructor is Michael Kerrisk, the author of The Linux Programming Interface and the longtime maintainer of the Linux man-pages project.

What is not confirmed by the available evidence

The provided page evidence does not state:

  • Which specific courses are offered
  • Whether courses are online, in-person, or self-paced
  • Course duration, price, or prerequisites
  • Upcoming schedules or registration steps
  • Whether registration happens on man7.org or through a third party

Any of these details should be treated as unknown until verified on the site.

How to find the actual course details

  1. Go to man7.org.
  2. Open the Training courses section from the main navigation or homepage list.
  3. Look for course titles, descriptions, and any stated format (online, in-person, or self-paced).
  4. Check for a schedule, registration link, or contact method.
  5. If the page points to an external registration platform, follow that link for dates and payment terms.

Expected result: you should end up on a page that either lists specific courses with logistics or directs you to a contact/registration channel. If the Training courses page only describes the courses without dates, use the Contact and Impressum section to ask about availability.

Who this is for

The training is most relevant if you want instruction connected to the material behind The Linux Programming Interface and the Linux man-pages project — that is, Linux and UNIX system programming topics. If you are looking for a broad multi-instructor course marketplace, man7.org is not that; it is a single-author resource site.

Practical checkpoints before signing up

  • Confirm the course format, since the site evidence does not specify online vs. in-person vs. self-paced.
  • Confirm the language of instruction.
  • Confirm whether any materials or prerequisites are included.
  • Confirm the cancellation or refund terms if payment is involved.
  • Confirm the time zone if the course is live and remote.

These are the details most likely to change and most likely to affect your decision, so verify them directly on the Training courses page or via the contact information listed there.
