Hello everyone, and welcome. My name is Andrew Mallet, and you are
just minutes from learning all about the very latest Linux+ exam.
Let me introduce you to my latest course,
the Introduction to CompTIA Linux+ (XKO‑005) Certification.
I'm the owner of The Urban Penguin in the UK training and consulting in
Linux, and I've been doing so now for many years,
working both as a system administrator, as well as a dabbling developer,
working a lot with Python currently in configuration management
systems such as Ansible, Puppet, and Salt.
I'm currently Linux+ certified, but in the previous version,
the XKO‑004 exam, and I'm eagerly waiting for the release any day
now of the new exam. Certification and a recognized and respected
certification is really important,
especially where the objectives are broad and wide ranging,
just like your work.
Some of the major topics that we cover in this very short course
include the background to CompTIA so you can understand the
respect that they have within the industry,
the exam history and the importance of the move to
performance or practical‑based exams,
the Pluralsight courses that make up this track, as well as how you
can book the exam. By the end of this course,
you will know what the exam is all about and how you
can gain your own certification. You will also know the value that Pluralsight places on your success. Good luck.
