CompTIA Linux+ Certification
Definition & Purpose
CompTIA Linux+ certification is a vendor-neutral
credential, generic across distributions, 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.

industry credential that offers proof of knowledge and expertise in Linux
technologies. This certification also provides a path to a variety of
