SYNOPSIS
CompTIA Linux+ certification is an international industry credential that validates the knowledge of individuals with a minimum of six to twelve months of practical Linux experience. Professionals who want to certify their technical knowledge in installation, operation and troubleshooting for Linux operating systems should consider this certification. The skills and knowledge measured by this examination were developed with global input to assure accuracy, validity and reliability. Earning the CompTIA Linux+ designation means that the candidate can explain fundamental management of Linux systems from the command line, demonstrate knowledge of user administration, understand file permissions/software configurations and manage local storage devices and network protocols.

This certification is well suited to network and system administrators, independent of what industry they work in. The Linux+ designation is achieved by passing one conventional format exam, XK0-002, that validates technical competency and provides a broad awareness of Linux operating systems. The Linux+ certification thus demonstrates the candidate’s knowledge of installation, operation, administration and troubleshooting services. Like other CompTIA offerings, once a person achieves the Linux+, the certification will not expire.
