The certification covers important skills in system administration, automation, troubleshooting, containers, and more, so you are prepared for today’s hybrid tech environments. The newest version is Linux+ V8 (XK0-006), while V7 (XK0-005) remains available until its retirement.

CompTIA Linux+ is open to anyone, and you do not need prior certifications to take the exam. However, it is best suited for those who already have basic IT knowledge and at least 12 months of hands-on experience with Linux servers. If you are new to IT, starting with CompTIA A+ or Network+ can give you a strong foundation for success with Linux+.

Yes, you can use CompTIA Linux+ to prove your Linux skills to employers worldwide. It’s respected by organizations across industries and countries and aligns with global IT standards.

CompTIA updates the exam so you stay in step with evolving technologies, industry standards, and job roles. Updates ensure that your Linux+ credential reflects current demands, including security, automation, and containerization, and that you are prepared for modern IT environments.

Your Linux+ certification is valid for three years. You can renew it by earning 50 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through activities like training, webinars, or work experience, or by obtaining additional CompTIA or other qualifying IT certifications.
