The
CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI Course covers the Linux+ LX0-101 and LX0-102 exam syllabus which is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that validates the fundamental knowledge and skills required of junior Linux administrators.
CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI consists of two exams, LX0-101 and LX0-102. The exams cover system architecture; Linux installation and package management; GNU and Unix commands; devices, Linux filesystems, and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Professionals who pass the exam can work at the Linux command line, perform maintenance tasks, assist users, and install and configure workstations.
Linux is quickly becoming a preferred software platform, it�s low cost, provides flexibility and is compatible with virtualization and cloud applications.
As more organizations implement Linux, employers will be looking for administrators who have a solid technical, foundational knowledge of Linux systems.
Earning CompTIA Linux+ proves your abilities to:
Work at the Linux command line.
Perform easy maintenance tasks - Assisting users, adding users to a larger system, executing backup and restore, shutdown and reboot.
Install and configure a workstation - Configuring X and connecting it to a LAN, or a stand-alone PC via modem to the Internet.
A new benefit for CompTIA Linux+ is that candidates may choose, at the time they take the exams, to have their exam record forwarded to the Linux Professional Institute.
Certification in CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI enables candidates to become certified in LPIC-1 as well, enabling further participation in the LPI program if the candidate chooses.
PLEASE NOTE: The Linux+ Certification Course is designed as a theory-based course but does contain all relevant information on how to complete practical exercises. The course books that we use are Official CompTIA Press Course materials. The home study course is originally designed as an Instructor led course but is a convenient learning tool for individuals who do not have the flexibility to attend traditional classroom training, and because of this format it details the practical elements in greater detail than other courses available.
