Linux+

CompTIA Linux+ validates your practical Linux administration skills. The current version, V7 (XK0-005), is offered in English until January 13, 2026, and in Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish until April 14, 2026. The new version, V8, launches July 15, 2025, and will feature the latest technology content and objectives. You can earn your Linux+ certification with V7 until retirement, or plan to take V8 once it becomes available.
