LPI Linux LPIC-1 Prep v4.0

March 2015 with Shawn Powers

Note: The exam associated with this course was retired October 1, 2019. However, this course still retains value as a training resource. This LPIC-1 and CompTIA Linux+ course with Shawn Powers covers the essentials for entry-level system administrators supporting Linux systems. Learn about the command line interface, system configuration, scripting, networking, security, and more as you prepare for the LPIC-1 or CompTIA Linux+ certification exam.

While the exams offered by CompTIA (LX0-103 and LX0-104) and Linux Professional Institute (101 and 102) have different names, they are the same. You need to pass either the CompTIA exams or the LPI exams to become certified. When you pass your exams, you will earn certifications from both organizations.

CBT Nuggets learners save 10% off the price of exam vouchers by using the code CBTN10 at the CompTIA Store.

This course prepares you for both exams, regardless of which vendor you choose. Learn more about the dual certification experience from our Roadmap to Success.
