Operating system
Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
Hi, welcome to the course!
The term "operating system" is widely known to everyone. Almost all have heard of such names as Windows 10, Android, MacOS, etc. when using or buying computers and mobile devices such as smartphones for the first time. We all understand an operating system is a prerequisite for operating the aforementioned devices and installing any application on them. What roles does an operating system play in a computer system? How does it work? This "Operating systems" course is designed to provide learners with knowledge of architecture and operating principles of operating systems.TARGET LEARNER
- Those who have the desire to study for a university degree. Completing the certificate 3 enables you to become a programmer or software engineer
- Those who want to sharpen basic knowledge and skills in computer operating systems
- Those who want to have skills in managing resources on computers including hardware, software, and data
- Those who want to explore the operation of Linux operating system, build interactive programs, and use the operating system's control mechanisms
course objectives

course information
learning experience
The course will have 4 modules with 11 lessons. Each lesson will have one (or several) videos that require students to watch carefully, practice according to instructions, and answer quizzes. Throughout the course, quizzes, exercises, and labs will help you strengthen your memory and apply the theory you have learned to practical problems. In each lesson, the designed assignments and progress tests help you visualize and experience management operations on the operating system.
During the study period (around 6 weeks), the allocation of the study week is very important. If you have any questions, please connect with Mentor for answers.
