Con este curso pase la certificacion LFCS que esta conectado a la plataforma de kodecloud y esos 4 simuladores me ayudaron mucho

Hi Teachers, Thanks for this wonderful course. 2 days ago, I passed LFCS on the first attempt with 91% marks and didn't study any other course. Pro TIP: I re-did all the practicals total 3 times and almost secured 100% in all the 4 mock exams. TLDR package is must to have for quick help. As 'man' is very vast. Thanks and best wishes to all!!!

Le cours est très intéressant, je redécouvre ou découvre des concepts. Les laboratoires sont parfois un peu trop centrés sur ce que nous venons de voir mais globalement c'est de grande qualité
By Renaud CHARLIER on 5/4/2026
I just passed the LFCS and really enjoyed this course. The content is solid, well-structured, and the mock exams are invaluable for exam preparation. Regarding difficulty: Killer Shell (free coupon included with the certification) is harder than the real exam, which sits somewhere between the two. It's reassuring to walk into the exam room after having gone through it. A tip for future candidates: don't overlook Apache and Chrony. I was a bit surprised to find those topics on the exam, definitely worth spending time on them. I hesitated for a long time between the LFCS and the RHCSA before finding a LFCS + CKA bundle (which I also passed), and I think it's an excellent combination. As a sysadmin today, being familiar with containerization and orchestration is essential, this bundle covers exactly that. It's also worth noting that the LFCS covers around 70% of the RHCSA syllabus, which is a more advanced certification, making it a smart stepping stone if you plan to go further. Thanks KodeKloud!

I passed LFCS exams few days ago. I can only recommend this course, it covers all topics on the LFCS exam. One more suggestion: learn iptables, you'll have it on exam.

I really enjoyed the LFCS training, especially the practical labs that reinforced the concepts. The explanations were clear, detailed, and directly applicable to real scenarios.
By Hansel Mora on 2/25/2026
I love how the course is very specific, compared to other courses where they don't explain things in depth and only run commands. Teaching in this much detail makes things make more sense and makes me feel like I actually know what's happening.
By Tania Michelle King on 2/23/2026
A well-designed and easy-to-learn training program with many useful real-life scenarios and excellent performance-based online labs.
By Hector Rosales on 2/17/2026
Awesome course with great hands on labs. I was originally studying for Linux+ and pivoted to LFCS. Thanks to this, I was able to pass my exam.
By Terry Burns on 10/7/2025
The material was moved through way to quickly, with no way to save any information or even find it easily. Also, there were no practice questions, which resulted in my retention being about 7%, based on the mock exams at the end. Terrible presentation, structure, so, even though the presenter was obviously very knowledgeable, he was almost completely unable to communicate anything that could be retained and used again.
