Why is CompTIA Linux+ Different?
CompTIA Linux+ is vendor neutral, meaning that the knowledge and skills you learn can be used to perform various job roles regardless of the specific programs, tools or distributions being used. Compare this to vendor-specific certifications, which equip you to work with just one platform.
CompTIA Linux+ XK0-005: What’s in this version
The new CompTIA Linux+ exam objectives have been completely revamped to reflect where the technology is going for private and commercial purposes and to test the actual usage and administrative tasks common to nearly all Linux distributions. The skills this exam tests are in high demand by employers, as proved by the latest Linux Foundation Research.
So, what’s new in CompTIA Linux+?
The following subject areas have been added:
- Given a scenario, perform basic container operations
- Summarize common infrastructure as code technologies.
- Given a scenario, use a process to diagnose and resolve common problems with a Linux system.
However, all topics have been touched on and updated to ensure the test better reflects the skills needed by today’s professionals.
In addition, the CompTIA Linux+ exam XK0-005 objectives have been streamlined, and the test now covers four domains (whereas XK0-004 had five) in which topics have been redistributed.

I was able to pass the exam on the first try
I used Cyberkraft’s 2 week online course to prepare for the CompTia Security + exam and it was very helpful. I was able to pass the exam on the first try and CyberKraft was there to help anyway possible. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is trying to acquire certifications and will definitely use them again in the future.
There was no question I'd go ahead with Cyberkraft
When I decided to get the CompTIA Security+ Certificate, the first thing was that I looked around in the market for affordable training plans and compared them with each other. After a deep investigation, I found the Cyberkraft CompTIA Security+ Complete Course SY0-701 far the best in price – quality ratio. The most important thing in the packet for me personally, was the 37 labs which I really needed to get some practical skills. It’s the icing on the cake that Dennis gave me an extra discount while having discussions. At that point, there was no question I’d go ahead with Cyberkraft. I’m happy to tell you, I successfully passed the test on my first attempt.
Cyberkraft is awesome
Cyberkraft is awesome, the instructor led training was spectacular and my instructor went above and beyond with helping me learn and retain the material for the exam. I passed on my first attempt. I recommend Cyberkraft for anyone needing a boot camp or program to help get them the CompTIA certification or just to learn cybersecurity as a whole.
Thank you Cyberkraft!!
Cyberkraft Training worked with me to make sure I passed the Security+ Exam. They provided a couple attempts for the exam that is included in the course package that you purchase. The program makes it easier to understand the material and they have plenty of great PBQ practice quizzes. Thank you Cyberkraft!!
