Course overview
LPIC certifications are designed by Linux professionals and are vendor-neutral, teaching skills on both Debian-based (such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint) as well as RedHat-based (such as CentOS and Fedora) distributions. The skills you’ll learn will be valuable whether you are managing an on-premises installation or virtual machines in the cloud.
The course prepares you for the LPIC-1 101-500 and 102-500 exams. These cover system architecture, package management and installation, Bash commands, devices and filesystems. Also covered are shells, scripting, data management, user interfaces (including GUIs), system services and security.
Whether looking to learn essential skills or certify your existing knowledge, the LPIC-1 certification is your first step in the highly-needed and versatile career of Linux System Administration.
