Course Overview
CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-006) Bootcamp - Your preparation for the CompTIA Linux+ system administration certification!
Master the skills required to configure, secure, and troubleshoot modern Linux environments. This course follows CompTIA’s latest Linux+ XK0-006 exam objectives, guiding you through system management, security, automation, and advanced troubleshooting so you can confidently administer Linux servers in on-prem and cloud settings.
Domain Discussion
System Management (23%) Covers the foundational aspects of Linux system setup and maintenance. Topics include installation, boot processes, package management, storage configuration, and performance tuning. 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.
Security (18%) Equips you with the skills to secure Linux environments using access controls, firewalls, SELinux/AppArmor, and encryption. This domain includes vulnerability scanning, patch management, and applying best practices to harden systems against threats.
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.
Troubleshooting (22%) Develops your ability to diagnose and resolve issues related to system performance, networking, hardware, storage, and applications. You’ll use logs, monitoring tools, and structured troubleshooting methodologies to ensure minimal downtime and maximum availability.
Course Features
Your learning path combines a comprehensive study guide, quick-check quizzes, and a full-length practice exam that mirror CompTIA’s testing style. The quizzes track retention after each module, and a full-length practice exam build the pacing and confidence you need for exam day.

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.

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.

I did pass the CompTIA Linux+ and, while I found the course to be of use, it was by no means my sole method of learning. The content often isn't detailed enough and there are similies used which one has to wonder about. For example, when talking about Physical Volumes, Volume Groups and Logical Volumes, PVs represent the actual devices/their partitions, VGs; a logical pool of storage and LV are like partitions. I think most people would understand it in terms of "how does this differ from the traditional storage that I'm familiar with?" The answer is there's just one extra layer of abstraction: VG's, which take the place of the physical block device. You could say PV + VG = /dev/sda (for example). That's then partitioned by the LV layer (sda1). This relationship to what we're all familiar with is never mentioned. Instead, one has to listen to examples of clothes being changed for winter or rooms in a house.

The course is very informative. I will say the only thing that makes it hard for me is that the instructor reads everything when it comes to the commands. For me, at least, it comes off a bit robotic. Usually, I follow along the screen, but when the commands are read out to me, it confuses me for some reason. Maybe I need to get used to it. Anyways, great course and amazing instructors nonetheless. I'm Net+ and Sec+ thanks to their other courses.
