CompTIA Linux+

Course Overview

CompTIA Linux+ validates the skills administrators need to secure the enterprise, power the cloud, and keep systems running. The new certification ensures that IT professionals, software developers, cybersecurity engineers, and penetration testers have these necessary skills to support today’s tech systems.

CompTIA Linux+ is the only job-focused Linux certification covering the latest foundational skills demanded by hiring managers. Unlike other certifications, the new exam includes performance-based and multiple-choice questions to identify the employees who can do the job. The exam covers tasks associated with all major distributions of Linux, setting the foundation for advanced vendor/distro-specific knowledge.
