Overview

The course guides you through the essentials of what PowerShell is, how it works, why you can’t afford to live without it, and - most importantly - how to use it to make everyday administrative tasks faster, easier, and more consistent.

This course also covers intermediate topics such as error handling, debugging, regular expressions, advanced modularization techniques, advanced object manipulation, and much more. You’ll be a more refined and efficient administrator by leveraging more of PowerShell’s flexible and powerful capabilities.

Finally, dig deep into PowerShell’s advanced capabilities, and begin extending and customizing the shell in ways you never thought possible. Learn to work with the data stored in databases, create graphical dialogue boxes, define custom formatting views and type extensions, work with XML-based data, and much more.

This course includes a complete half-day, hands on practical where you’ll use PowerShell to create a complex administrative utility from scratch.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
