SYSTEM IT ADMIN – COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Description
The System IT Administrator course is designed to help you manage your BLISS LIMS system. System
installs, upgrades, maintenance, and troubleshooting BLISS system components are covered.
Course Structure
This course is designed as a presentation with guided practice followed by individual practice at the
end of each day. We will utilize VMWare technology to simulate a server-client environment. Each
student is assigned a laptop that hosts a virtual machine representing the database and BLISS servers.
Students are given a thumb-drive containing course materials and manuals. Certificates of Completion
are given at the end of the course.
The schedule in this document serves as a guideline. We may spend more or less time on each topic as
needed. The first three sessions of each day involve lecture and demonstration with some guided
practice in the mix. During the fourth session, I will give you a worksheet to review concepts and
practice configuration. At this time, I will be available to answer your questions on- or off-topics
covered that day.
