What's This Course About

CompTIA Linux+ Training prepares you for the CompTIA Linux+ certification (exam XK0-006), a vendor-neutral credential that validates the skills to configure, manage, secure and troubleshoot Linux systems in on-premises and cloud environments. Linux runs most servers, cloud platforms and containers, so Linux administration is a core skill for system administrators, DevOps engineers, cloud engineers and cyber security professionals. The course is designed for IT professionals with some Linux experience who want to advance their careers.

The course follows the official exam domains. You will start with system management, covering the boot process, kernel modules, storage and file systems, logical volumes, package management, networking configuration and system services. Next you will study services and user management, including managing users, groups and permissions, configuring common services and working with containers. You will then cover security, such as authentication, access controls, SELinux and AppArmor, firewalls, SSH hardening, encryption and compliance.

The course continues with automation, orchestration and scripting, writing Bash and Python scripts, using Git and infrastructure as code tools such as Ansible, and closes with troubleshooting, applying a structured methodology to diagnose system, network, storage and performance problems. Hands-on labs and exam-style practice questions reinforce every domain. By the end, you will be able to administer Linux systems confidently and be well prepared to pass the CompTIA Linux+ exam.

Dr. Alfred Ang is the Chief Technology Officer of Tertiary Infotech Academy and a full-stack AI developer who builds, containerises and deploys production platforms on cloud infrastructure. He works with Linux servers as part of his everyday DevOps practice, so he teaches Linux+ through real deployments rather than theory alone. He is a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), and also holds the AWS Certified Solutions Architect, AWS Certified AI Practitioner, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and CompTIA Security+ certifications. His work spans DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, CI/CD and Linux servers, together with system architecture, observability and performance optimisation. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, where he topped his cohort. With more than 20 years of industry experience across the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries and technology entrepreneurship, he has published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers and co-invented over 20 US patents. He established Tertiary Infotech Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2016. Alongside his DevOps work, he designs and deploys AI-powered applications end to end, from frontend and backend systems to LLM orchestration, workflow automation and scalable cloud infrastructure, with a focus on measurable business impact, and he applies the same container and pipeline practices to every system he ships. His teaching emphasises applied skills, ethical governance and sustainable adoption, translating complex technology into practical, industry-aligned learning for professionals and organisations.

Linux sits underneath almost everything Dr. Ang builds. His production platforms, including a franchise course-registration system serving Singapore, Malaysia and Ghana, run as Docker containers on Linux servers managed with Coolify, and his training platform launches Docker-based Ubuntu and Kali Linux environments in the browser with on-demand start, stop and idle auto-shutdown. He automates builds and releases with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines so that deployments are repeatable. On this course he follows the official domains: system management, including the boot process, storage and file systems; services and user management with systemd, users, groups and permissions; security, linking hardening, access control and SSH to his CompTIA Security+ knowledge; automation, orchestration and scripting with Bash, Git and containers; and structured troubleshooting of boot, storage, network and performance problems. As a CKA and CKAD holder, he shows how Linux skills carry directly into container and Kubernetes work, and he relates exam objectives to the AWS cloud environments in which many Linux servers now run. Every topic is reinforced with hands-on command-line practice on real Linux environments, so learners become comfortable diagnosing problems from logs, process lists and system metrics, writing small automation scripts and applying security settings correctly, the practical skills that both the performance-based exam questions and real system administration roles demand from day one. Learners are welcome to explore his projects on GitHub at https://github.com/alfredang and connect with him on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/angchewhoe/

Dr. Muhammed Siraj is a cybersecurity specialist and academic with 15 years of experience, and he supports this CompTIA Linux+ course with a security lens on the hardening, access control and vulnerability management tasks in the exam. At Academic City University in Accra, Ghana, he serves as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Informatics and as Director of Graduate and Continuous Education. His academic training spans three countries: a degree from the University of Ghana, an MSc in Information and Communication Technology from Aalborg University in Denmark, and a PhD in Security in Computing from Universiti Putra Malaysia, where he researched blockchain security. Beyond the university, he is a licensed independent assessor with Ghana's Cyber Security Authority and holds leadership roles in national cybersecurity and privacy professional bodies. He is a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) and Certified Data Protection Supervisor (CDPS), and was formerly Acting Director of ICT and Data Protection Supervisor at Wisconsin International University College.

On this course Dr. Siraj concentrates on the Security domain and its links to the rest of the syllabus, rather than general system administration. He draws on his expertise in access control, vulnerability management, cryptography and endpoint security to explain why user and group permissions, privilege controls, authentication, firewalls, encryption and timely patching are fundamental to a well-run Linux system. His experience in SIEM, incident response and digital forensics adds context on why logging and audit trails matter, and how evidence from a server is used when investigating a security incident. He also shows how secure software development and careful automation reduce the configuration mistakes attackers often exploit, and how business continuity and disaster recovery planning protects critical services. Because he teaches cryptography and network security at university level, he explains keys, certificates and secure remote access in practical terms. Having completed his doctorate at Universiti Putra Malaysia, he is pleased to work with Malaysian system administrators, DevOps engineers and security professionals advancing their Linux careers.

Saeid is co-founder of Skymics Sdn Bhd. He has 8 years of experience in the field of IoT (Internet of Things) and Information Technology. He is a certified IBM IoT Practitioner and instructor, and a Certified Citizen Data Scientist Train-The-Trainer. He has been co-inventor of 3 inventions during the last 4 years.
