What is the core competency do I get by earning this certificate?

Linux has grown into an industry-leading software and service delivery platform that is used for everything from super computers and Web servers to virtualized systems and your Android phone.

Linux professionals are high in demand: With CompTIA’s Linux+ Powered by LPI certification, you’ll acquire the fundamental skills and knowledge you need  to successfully configure, manage and troubleshoot Linux systems.

​

What will I able to do as a result earning this certificate?

According to CompTIA, the leading association representing the international technology community, there are at least three reasons why an IT Professional would want to become Linux+ certified:

1. Linux+ Keeps You Relevant;
The Linux footprint continues to grow. In addition to its significant presence in the server room, all the major public cloud providers offer Linux images as a way of speeding up virtual instance creation. Add on that Linux-based Android accounts for approximately 80% of the smartphone market and you’ll find many IT careers are founded on Linux skills.

2. Linux+ is Widely Recognized
Large organizations such as the U.S. Navy, Dell, HP, BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Department of Defense employ CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI certified IT professionals.

3. Linux+ is a Stepping Stone for Higher Goals
IT professionals who earn their CompTIA Linux+ certification can receive the LPIC-1 from LPI. Earning a Linux+ certification is the beginning of a path that will lead you to advanced, distribution-specific Linux certifications such as SUSE Certified Engineer.

​

How will earning this certificate benefits me and my employer?

  1. Participant will learn how to communicate with Linux via the bash shell and learn why this is emphasized over the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

  2. Participant will learn how Linux partitioning is different from partitioning a Windows Server.

  3. Participant will learn standard Linux permissions. (Is it really just read, write, execute for the user, group, all others?)

  4. Participant will learn how to install software across an entire business.

  5. Participant will learn how and why to compile software from source code.

  6. Participant will learn how to manage network printing in a web interface.

  7. Participant will learn the difference between installing software “the Red Hat way” versus installing “the Debian way."

  8. Participant will learn how to keep an eye on log files, and how to have bash automatically update whenever a log changes.

  9. Participant will learn how to Implement secure administration from an admin workstation (Windows, Mac OS or Linux) to Linux servers for secure remote administration.

  10. Participant will learn how to use the tools required to keep an eye on which processes are consuming the most RAM and CPU time, as well as the use of virtual memory.
