CompTIA Linux+ validates the competencies required of an early career system administrator supporting Linux systems.
The new CompTIA Linux+ is for the IT pro who will use Linux to manage everything from cars and smartphones to servers and supercomputers, as a vast number of enterprises use Linux in cloud, cybersecurity, mobile and web administration applications.
In the new CompTIA Linux+, candidates are only required to pass one exam for certification. However, the new certification is no longer eligible for the LPI 2-for-1 offer.
- CompTIA Linux+ is the only job-focused Linux certification covering the latest foundational skills demanded by hiring managers.
- Unlike other certifications, the new exam includes performance-based and multiple-choice questions to identify the employees who can do the job.

STACKABLE CERTIFICATIONS
CompTIA recently launched a major expansion of its credentialing program with the introduction of CompTIA Stackable Certifications, which are earned by achieving a combination of related CompTIA certifications along the CompTIA infrastructure or cybersecurity pathways. Stackable certifications recognize deep expertise and strong commitment to continuous professional development and growth. Students do not need to do anything additional to earn these certifications. If a student has earned the relevant individual certifications, he will automatically receive the appropriate stackable certification. 
CompTIA Stackable Certifications follow the two CompTIA Career Pathways:
- CompTIA Infrastructure Career Pathway
- CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway
CompTIA Infrastructure Career Pathway
CompTIA’s Infrastructure Career Pathway validates the skillsets needed across IT operations, deepening mastery of skills and broadening the number of IT infrastructure roles in which one can contribute.
Specialist (early-career IT professionals with 0–2 years of experience)
- A+ and Network+ = CompTIA IT Operations Specialist (CIOS)
- A+ and Linux+ = CompTIA Systems Support Specialist (CSSS)
Professional (mid-level IT professionals with 2–5 years of experience)
- Network+ and Cloud+ = CompTIA Cloud Admin Professional (CCAP)
- Network+ and Server+ = CompTIA Network Infrastructure Professional (CNIP)
- Network+ and Linux+ = CompTIA Linux Network Professional (CLNP)
CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway
The CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway helps technical specialists achieve cybersecurity mastery, from beginning to end.
Specialist (early-career IT professionals with 0–2 years of experience)
- A+ and Network+ and Security+ = CompTIA Secure Infrastructure Specialist (CSIS)
Professional (mid-level IT professionals with 2–5 years of experience)
- Security+ and Cloud+ = CompTIA Secure Cloud Professional (CSCP)
- Security+ and CySA+ = CompTIA Security Analytics Professional (CSAP)
Expert (established IT professionals with more than 5 years of experience)
- Security+ and CySA+ and CASP = CompTIA Security Analytics Expert (CSAE)
More stackable certifications are expected.
Stackable certifications require active CE certifications. Good-for-life certification holders may earn these stackable certifications by re-certifying and validating that their skills are up to date
