Yes, for an entry-level position. You will be trained and
mentoring further by the senior people there.

Entry level sys admin: 0-1 year.
Junior level sys admin: 1-4 years of relevant experience
Senior level sys admin: 4+ years of relevant experience
Your experience is mainly in development, not sys admin.
Even taking the course, you would still be viewed as at
entry or junior level.
The course provides you with a head-start, perhaps
shortening the on-the-job training by several months to
a year. Hands-on experience of doing the grunt work is
still required to qualify you as an experienced sys admin.
