CompTIA Linux+ is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that validates the fundamental knowledge and skills required of junior Linux administrators.
CIAT’s Linux+ course validates the fundamental knowledge and skills required of junior Linux administrators. It covers areas such as system architecture; Linux installation and package management; GNU and UNIX commands; devices, Linux file systems, and File System Hierarchy Standard. Professionals who pass the Linux+ course can work at the Linux command line, perform maintenance tasks, assist users, and install and configure workstations. Earning a Linux+ designation can be a stepping stone to vendor-specific training, such as Oracle Certified Associate and Novell SUSE Linux programs. Certification is not required for successful completion of this course.
Note: This course is currently only available as a classroom, instructor-led course. The online version is under development. Please check with a CIAT Admissions Representative for additional information on availability.
Specific Topics Include:
- GNU and UNIX commands

A new benefit for Linux+ students is that they may choose, at the time they take the exams, to have their exam record forwarded to the Linux Professional Institute. Successful completion of the Linux+ course enables candidates to become certified in LPIC-1 as well, enabling further participation in the LPI program if the candidate chooses. Any choice to forward a Linux+ exam record to LPI is made solely by the candidate.
