Course Description

CompTIA is a not-for-profit trade association with the purpose of advancing the interests of IT professionals and IT channel organizations; its industry-leading IT certifications are an important part of that mission. CompTIA’s Linux+ certification is an intermediate-level certification designed for professionals with at least 12 months of hands-on experience working with Linux servers in a junior Linux support engineer or junior cloud/DevOps support engineer job role. In addition, the knowledge gained in CompTIA’s A+, Network+, and Server+ courses, or the equivalent, is strongly recommended.

The CompTIA Linux+ certification exam will verify the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to configure, manage, operate, and troubleshoot Linux in on-premises and cloud-based server environments while using security best practices, scripting, containerization, and automation.
