CompTIA Linux+
The CompTIA Linux+ certification is a new standard of competency for technicians with six-months experience installing, operating and maintaining Linux operating systems. The Linux+ certification validates technical competency and provides a broad awareness of Linux operating systems. Those holding Linux+ certification demonstrate critical knowledge of installation, operation, administration and troubleshooting services. Linux, the open-source variant of the Unix operating system, has grown from a handful of users a decade ago to an installed base of hundreds of thousands of users today.
MicroTrain offers certified instructors and 40 hours of labs, lectures, and learning. Analysts estimate that up to a third of all servers sold have Linux installations and that the operating system runs on as many as 10 million computers worldwide. CompTIA developed the Linux+ certification, which serves as a stepping-stone toward higher-level Linux certification tracks from LPI and Sair, with the expertise of industry leaders such as Bradford Learning, Caldera, Compaq, ElementK, Guru Labs, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Linuxcare, Prosofttraining.com, and SuSE.
"Linux users ranging from entry-level technicians to application developers to technical sales and marketing staff can benefit from Linux+ certification as a means of validating their expertise and experience" John Venator president and CEO of CompTIA.About this Course

A Cisco Success Story
I attended a resume writing seminar & conducted mock phone interviews with a Microtrain career counselor. These two activities gave me a leg up on distinguishing myself from all the other people looking for work. Since the career counselor's at Microtrain had a track record of getting people hired, their insight and positive past experiences helped me tremendously in getting hired with a Cisco Voice Systems Integrator in the Chicago area. I was hired as a Cisco Voice Tech Engineer with a starting salary of $65,000 / year with a Cisco voice systems reseller located in the Chicagoland area. Microtrain was very instramental in making this a reality. From expediting my WIA grant, to providing excellent hands-on training from knowledgable instructors I was able to achieve becoming certified with my CCNP. Microtrain's career services was the final catalyst in connecting me with this company by communicating with them on my behalf and with me in setting up the interview. One week later and I was hired. No joke. Thanks Microtrain!

Microtrain presents the course material in an interesting and concise manner. Microtrain gives the student all the resources necessary to pass the certification exams. Both the Chicago and Lombard facilities were excellent, and the staff goes to any length to accommodate any student changes.

The instructor [Al Khalfan] was very knowledgeable in the field. He presented the materials and concepts with a professional touch. He also frequently adds humor to his teachings, which made it easier for me to understand. The support staff was all nice, gentle, caring, and very helpful. The materials, rooms and amenities were excellent and exceeded expected standards.
