About Linux+
CompTIA Linux+ validates the ability to manage, secure, automate, and troubleshoot Linux systems in cloud and hybrid environments. It prepares candidates for roles such as Linux systems administrator, systems engineer, and network engineer.
- System management: boot processes, storage, networking, virtualization
- Services and user management: permissions, accounts, containers
- Security: authentication, firewalls, OS hardening, cryptography
- Automation, orchestration, and scripting (shell, Python basics, Git)
- Troubleshooting system, hardware, network, and performance issues
Purchase Options (7)
CompTIA mixes and matches a handful of building blocks — CertMaster Learn (the course), CertMaster Labs (hands-on practice), CertMaster Practice (a final readiness check), CertMaster Study (a textbook-style guide), CertMaster Perform (Learn + Labs combined), and the exam Voucher itself — into the packages below. Buy Now takes you to secure Stripe checkout; CRS training ops will redeem your CompTIA license and email you within 1 business day.
CertMaster Study
V8
A traditional, fully illustrated study guide (eBook and print) — reference-style content for learners who prefer a textbook to interactive eLearning.
$116
R 1 742
CertMaster Labs
V8
Hands-on virtual lab environments mapped directly to exam objectives — practice by doing rather than reading. Sold on its own for learners who already have the theory and want practical repetition, or bundled with CertMaster Learn.
$153
R 2 288
CertMaster Practice
V8
An adaptive practice-question engine that confirms strong areas and flags weak ones. This is a final readiness check used after Learn and/or Labs, not a way to learn new material.
$169
R 2 531
CertMaster Learn
V8
The self-paced eLearning course — readings, instructional videos, quizzes, flashcards, and a guided study plan covering every exam objective. This is what teaches the material; it does not include hands-on labs or the exam itself.
$404
R 6 055
CertMaster Perform
V8
CompTIA's most comprehensive single product — eLearning, hands-on labs, and live virtual machine environments combined into one integrated course, covering learning through to practical skills development in one purchase.
$537
R 8 060
Complete Learning Bundle
V8
CertMaster Learn + Labs (and Practice, where included) bundled together — every training component you need to prepare, but no exam voucher. Book your exam separately when you're ready.
$639
R 9 578
Complete Bundle with Voucher Plus Retake Assurance
V8
The full package — every training component, your exam booking, and a free retake if you need it. The most comprehensive single option CRS sells for this certification.
