Description
CompTIA Linux+ training aligned to the current XK0-006 exam covers practical Linux server administration for physical, virtual, cloud and container environments.
Participants study system management, services and user management, security, automation, orchestration, scripting and troubleshooting.
Teaching may combine lectures, command-line demonstrations, hands-on labs and exam-style tasks using tools such as systemd, SSH, firewalls, Bash, Python, Git and package managers.
After completion, learners should be better prepared to administer Linux systems, investigate common faults and continue toward CompTIA Linux+ certification.
What You Will Learn

Linux concepts, boot flow, GRUB, kernel modules, devices, storage, partitions, LVM, RAID, file systems, network configuration, backups, virtualization, and shell operations.
Labs focus on installing and configuring Linux systems, managing storage, setting network parameters, and using command-line tools for routine administration.
Module 2: Services and User Management
Users, groups, permissions, ACLs, processes, jobs, package tools, repositories, systemd services, logging, time settings, and container basics.
Participants practise account administration, service control with systemctl, package updates, and basic Docker or Podman container tasks.
Module 3: Security
Authentication, authorization, accounting, SSH, sudo, PAM, firewalls, SELinux, AppArmor, account hardening, cryptography, certificates, vulnerability concepts, and audit procedures.
Exercises include applying access controls, reviewing logs, configuring secure remote access, and checking common hardening settings.
Module 4: Automation, Orchestration, and Scripting
Bash scripting, basic Python for administration, Git, Ansible, Puppet, OpenTofu, cloud-init, CI/CD concepts, Kubernetes objects, and responsible use of AI-assisted administration.
Labs include writing scripts, reading playbooks, tracking changes in Git, and reviewing simple infrastructure-as-code examples.
Module 5: Troubleshooting and Exam Practice
Monitoring, log review, hardware, storage, network, service, security, and performance issues using tools such as journalctl, dmesg, ip, ss, ping, traceroute, and top.
Scenario-based labs and practice questions help participants apply Linux+ skills to practical administration tasks.
Certification & Exam
This course prepares participants for the current CompTIA Linux+ V8 certification exam, XK0-006, launched on July 15, 2025. The certification process requires candidates to study the official Linux+ objectives, register for the exam through CompTIA’s testing process, and pass one proctored exam.
The exam includes multiple-choice and performance-based questions, with up to 90 questions, a 90-minute time limit, and a passing score of 720 on a 100 to 900 scale.
Successful candidates earn the CompTIA Linux+ certification, which validates skills in Linux system management, services and user management, security, automation, orchestration, scripting, and troubleshooting.
