A Moodle for administrators course for the people who hold the whole site in their hands: IT staff, platform administrators and e-learning managers. In 24 hours you learn to install and upgrade, manage users and authentication with LDAP and SSO, roles, security, performance, plugins, theme and backups, with hands-on practice on a lab server and a DC-3 certificate.

It is a 24-hour program for people who administer or will administer a Moodle 4.x or 5.x site: installation and upgrades, site configuration, users, LDAP, OAuth 2 and SAML authentication, enrollment methods and cohorts, roles and permissions, security and privacy, performance and caching, plugins, theme, automated backups and maintenance. It runs live virtual, on-site or self-paced, with a DC-3 certificate.
