 I took up Bluepoint's Total Linux course last 2002 and time and again, what I've learned are still relevant today. Why? The course was developed with security and performance in mind.
In less than two months, I was able to learn the best practices in setting up Linux as a server: installing Linux at a bare minimum; removing standard and unnecessary programs, files and folders; protecting critical files and folders; compiling server software and the Linux kernel from scratch with optimized settings and necessary features only; installing servers in a jailed environment; designing and implementing a paranoid firewall.
Aside from the hands on lecture, we also had the toughest practical and written exams.
This quality training helped me obtain a score of 100% in my RHCE exam last March 2005. The first person I thanked was of course, my instructor, Engels Antonio of Bluepoint Institute.

How does the installment scheme work? Saturday, Jun 26, 1999, 9:47 PM
For those who wish to avail of the staggered payment scheme, 40% of the total tuition (total cost of training plus 10%) must be remitted to Bluepoint at least 7 days before the start of classes. Two equal payments of the remaining balance must be made according to the schedule of payments prescribed by the Institute. Late payments will be subject to a 5% surcharge per month. |

What about value-added and withholding taxes? Saturday, Jun 26, 1999, 9:48 PM
Bluepoint is recognized by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a non-stock, non-profit organization. As such, transactions are not subject to traditional taxes. Furthermore, subject to a special Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) ruling dated 29 July 2004, even government institutions and organizations classified by the BIR as one of the "Top Ten Thousand (10,000) Private Corporations" (Revenue Regulations No. 17-2003) may no longer withhold creditable income tax from Bluepoint for service-related engagements. |

Your certificate of attendance or completion will be released 1 month after the last day of classes or final exams. You will be notified as soon as your certificate is ready for pickup from our office.
If you cannot claim the certificate yourself, we will release it to a representative upon presentation of an authorization letter and valid proof of identification.
Arrangements to send your certificate via registered mail should be made during enrollment. |

We will gladly send you an invoice, or any other document that your organization may require, via facsimile transmission or e-mail attachment. The latter will be in PDF format, suitable for printing if you need hard copies. |
