You'll also explore logging, monitoring, and kernel modules essential to keeping systems stable and efficient.
Services and User Management (20%) Focuses on managing users, groups, and system services. You'll learn how to configure system accounts, set permissions, and control access to resources. Additionally, this domain explores service management tools like systemd, time synchronization, and network configuration to ensure reliable system operation.

Automation, Orchestration, and Scripting (17%) Introduces techniques to automate administrative tasks and orchestrate system processes. You'll write Bash scripts, schedule jobs with cron and systemd timers, and use configuration management tools like Ansible and version control with Git to streamline operations.

What Other Students Are Saying About Our Courses:
A great in-depth course over all of the objectives, I was easily able to follow along with the lectures and the hands-on sections in the Linux terminal. Thank you. (Collin P., 5 stars)
I found it useful to have both lectures and live demonstrations. I have used different distros over the years but always for specific purposes so never learned a solid baseline. For this course, I built some VMs using a virtual box to follow along with and eventually moved toward a KVM solution on an old machine to practice with a hypervisor for containers and other VMs. I think this course along with practice and understanding concepts will get you through the exam and started in Linux Administration roles. (Justin S, 5 stars)
I have a bit of Linux knowledge, through school, and choosing Linux to be my primary OS. I am about halfway or so through the course and have learned a lot. As for the poor reviews on this video, take notes, study, and implement, repeat. I did not have any issues with either instructor in this course. I also recommend additional study material while you're not at the computer, to keep your knowledge well rounded. Great course! (Gregory C., 5 stars)
Upon completion of this course, you will earn 36 CEUs towards the renewal of your CompTIA Tech+, A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, Cloud+, PenTest+, CySA+, or CASP+ certifications.

So far so good! There are a few typos of course. I suppose it isn't fair to give a review until I pass the test ;)
By Daniel James on 6/5/2026
I enjoyed this course! The instructor was very knowledgeable and gave amazing tips after the final videos. I loved all the explanations and examples that he used to connect to the real world which made it easier to understand all the material. I passed today and I am now a Linux Certified Professional! Thank you so much Jeremiah and Jason Dion! I would highly recommend this course if you are trying to get your Linux+!!

It was great to know about the corse contain and set the expectation accordingly.
By Matthew Pena on 4/9/2026
Videos and the quizzes after really help to find out your weaknesses. The practice test is a bit easy. The combination of video training, study guide, and tests/quizzes make this a valuable course. I recommended additional materials to prepare you for the real thing. I would adjust to 4 stars of I could.
By Clayton Womack on 4/2/2026
Amazing course, very detailed and broken down in an easy way to understand. Passed my Test on my first try after taking this course 100% recommend taking the time to go through it.
By Stephan B on 3/4/2026
It takes up so much more extra time that absolutely everything is read out. It would have been much better to have more comprehensive testing at the end of each section as it is very easy to lose focus after having listened more than half an hour. I would advise to reduce talking time and increase the multiple choice questions at the end of each section.
By Khayalethu Kubheka on 3/4/2026
Very easy to follow and grasp. Every section I finish leaves me excited to go to the next module to learn more
By Jackson Barton on 2/27/2026
It seems to be a good ft as I am prepping to take thte xk0-006 linux + exam in the next few months. I have used courses for A + and Network + pre and passed all exams. I am sticking with a good track record .
By Gustavo Placencia Carranza on 12/29/2025
Great course. Feel confident in taking the certification exam.
By Matt Wester on 11/26/2025
I was roughly 50% through the previous version of this course, and they have now re-uploaded the entire thing restarting my progress. I don't mind the new information, however I don't like that they removed all of the hands on terminal walk-throughs and did not upload updated replacements. Instead this is now a theory only course.
