CompTIA Lineux+ Certification: To Begin your Professional

CompTIA introduced their new Linux+ certification in April of 2019 and we’ll help you prepare to succeed in taking it. This course is intended for the IT Professional who uses Linux every day in their personal and professional lives. You only have to pass a single exam now, but keep in mind you will no longer get the LPI 2-for-1 certification as a result. This certification preparation course is designed to cover job-focused Linux foundational skills. The exam covers tasks that are associated with all major distributions of Linux and lays the foundation for more advanced vendor or distribution-specific knowledge.
The new CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 will be available on July 12, 2022! If you took the recent CompTIA Linux+ beta exam, thank you for your support! Please remember that beta exam results will not be available until the launch of the live exam.
