CompTIA Linux+

banner
CompTIA Linux+, Powered by LPI, is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that validates the fundamental knowledge and skills required of junior Linux administrators.

CompTIA Linux+, Powered by LPI, consists of two exams, LX0-101 and LX0-102. The exams cover system architecture; Linux installation and package management; GNU and Unix commands; devices, Linux filesystems, and the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. Professionals who pass the CompTIA Linux+ exam can work at the Linux command line, perform maintenance tasks, assist users, and install and configure workstations.

Earning CompTIA Linux+ is a stepping stone to vendor-specific training, such as Oracle Certified Associate and Novell SUSE Linux programs.

A new benefit for CompTIA Linux+ candidates is that they may choose, at the time they take the exams, to have their exam record forwarded to the Linux Professional Institute. Certification in CompTIA Linux+, Powered by LPI, enables candidates to become certified in LPIC-1 as well, enabling further participation in the LPI program if the candidate chooses. Please note that CompTIA maintains candidate-confidential records for all exam takers, for their own access and use for employment or educational purposes. Any choice to forward a CompTIA Linux+ exam record to LPI is made only by the candidate.

The CompTIA Linux+ exam is scheduled to be available soon in German, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese and Spanish.
For individuals studying toward the previous CompTIA Linux+ exam, XK0-002, that exam has been retired in Japan. That exam will be retired in all other parts of the world, all languages, on October 31, 2010.

“We can deliver Linux solutions, and still maintain quality and security. The schools save the money they would have spent on software, or on new equipment to run an updated version of Windows. It allows them to buy books and other supplies for the students.”
