The CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005 exam will verify that the successful candidate has the compentencies required of an early career system administrator supporting Linux systems.
There is no required prerequisite; however, CompTIA recommends 12 months of hands-on experience working with Linux servers in a junior Linux support engineer or junior cloud/DevOps support engineer job role. CompTIA A+, Network+ and Server+ or similar certifications and/or knowledge are also recommended.
