This strategic course is designed to equip systems engineers and technicians with the advanced skills required to build, manage, and troubleshoot servers in data center environments and large-scale enterprises. The course is based on the latest edition of the official curriculum of the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), namely version (SK0-005), which focuses on the administration of physical and virtual servers, the integration of cloud technologies, and the assurance of the security and continuity of digital infrastructure in accordance with the updated global standards for 2026.
“This course does not grant a certificate of attendance. This program has been specifically designed to qualify participants and train them to pass the official examination, and it aims to prepare you professionally and to a high standard to pass the examination successfully so that you may obtain the (+CompTIA Server) certification accredited by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).”
Course Objectives
- To establish a comprehensive understanding of physical server architecture and its components, as well as the ability to select hardware appropriate to institutional needs.
- To enable participants to install and manage server operating systems and virtual environments with high efficiency.
- To explain advanced storage management methodologies and Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technologies.
- To enhance skills in protecting servers, securing access to them, and applying cybersecurity policies.
- To apply high availability strategies and disaster recovery mechanisms in order to ensure service stability.
- To prepare candidates to pass the (SK0-005) examination through training on performance-based questions (PBQs) and troubleshooting scenarios.
