CompTIA Linux+ Objectives

Linux+ certification is a vendor-neutral IT certification. It is aimed at network engineers and/or administrators that want to gain more credibility in order to achieve better employability and higher pay. Typical job titles associated with Linux+ certified professionals are: UNIX/Linux Senior Engineer, Linux System Administrator, Linux Support Specialist, and Linux Manager.

To become a Linux+ Certified Security Engineer you have to pass the two Linux+ Exams Exam LX0-101 and Exam LX0-102. The exams cover mostly work at the command line (this is a critical Linux skill) but also installation and package management as well as Linux file systems, and file system Hierarchy Standard.

Two Certifications for the Effort of One!

Linux+ is promoted by CompTIA but developed by the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) therefore when you pass the CompTIA exam you also get the LPI credential.

The recommended prerequisite for this exam is about two years’ experience in IT security plus a working knowledge of most of the items listed in the CompTIA Linux+ Exam Objectives document.
