I'm an ex-FAS trainee myself. did a year of programming at the
Loughlinstown center. It was well worth it, from my perspective. While
the spectrum wasn't very broad (javascript, c, c++ and some discussion
of other things), the practical work was very helpful in getting a
handle on the skills involved.
If the Linux course is anything like that was, my guess is that the
training centers on networking - email, nfs and samba, httpd, firewalls,
etc. I'd say the trainess will come out with /some/ experience in a
relatively useful list of tools, and ready for more specific training.
