Linux Certification Training – CompTIA Linux+ and Linux LPIC-1
Video training course for the CompTIA Linux+ and Linux LPIC-1 exams. This course is aimed at complete beginners to the Linux environment and is a requirement for any government jobs or contract work. It's also ideal for anyone who wants to learn about this ubiquitous operating system.
The new CompTIA Linux+ is for the IT pro, who will use Linux to manage everything from cars and smartphones to servers and supercomputers, as a vast number of enterprises use Linux in the cloud, cybersecurity, mobile, and web administration applications. It is currently ranked as the #1 Linux certification exam.
LPIC-1 is the first certification in the multi-level Linux professional certification program of the Linux Professional Institute (LPI). The LPIC-1 will validate the candidate's ability to perform maintenance tasks on the command line, install and configure a computer running Linux and configure basic networking.
Linux Careers
One of the benefits of passing your Linux Certification is that it's proof to employers that you are self-motivated and are familiar with the foundations of Linux, and have mastery over the basic commands and concepts of the operating system. Having the Linux certifications, including the CompTIA Linux+ and LPIC-1 is a quick way to show employers that you have Linux knowledge and will help you get your foot in the door for Linux-related job opportunities, especially if you’re at a junior level.
Linux know-how is a must-have for many IT careers, including:
- Penetration Testers
- Network Administrators
- System Admins
- CyberOps Support
- CyberSecurity Professionals
- Programmers
Linux certification and knowledge is also a must-have for network engineers, programmers, and cloud engineers. It's also tested in Cisco and Microsoft exams. This entire course can be completed on your home computer using a virtual machine and a free Linux distro. We've combined it so you can pass two exams at the end of the course, saving you valuable time and effort.
- Exam Code – XK0-005 / 101-500 and 102-500
Most of the modules end in a follow-along hands-on lab where you configure, install and troubleshoot Linux services and systems, such as managing users and groups, setting up partitions, managing the booting process, and networking. You learn Linux security and scripting, also. The course ends with two Linux practice tests where you can apply your knowledge.
The course includes full forum support where you can ask the expert your questions and get answers from industry experts and fellow students.
When you pass your exam, you can consider taking advanced Linux certifications such as LPIC-2 and LPIC-3 for security, virtualization, or enterprise. It will lay a very strong foundation for other certifications, including Certified Ethical Hacker, Penetration Tester, and Cloud Architect.
Linux+ Exam Pass
Denis Riendeau
Denis used this video training course and lab coaching to pass his Linux+ exam.
The exam is perfect for aspiring security managers, network support engineers, penetration testers, or cyber ops professionals. You can progress onto the LIPC-2 after you have a few years of experience under your belt. Linux knowledge is a must-have for network engineers, programmers, and cloud engineers. It's also tested in CompTIA, Cisco, and Microsoft exams.
Areas tested in the exam and covered in your course include Scripting in Linux – shell and bash, System management, security and troubleshooting. These are the bread-and-butter tasks you will be using on a daily basis supporting Linux devices. If you wish, you can progress to take more advanced certifications in both Linux and Security.
