SmartCertify's CompTIA Linux+ Certification Course Now Available

SmartCertify Direct released new training for the CompTIA Linux+ certification, complete with CompTIA authorized content, 24-hour online mentoring and a money-back certification guarantee.

SmartCertify Direct, a division of SkillSoft and the leading provider of online certification training for the IT industry, announced today the release of its self-paced training course for the CompTIA Linux+ certification title. SmartCertify's CompTIA Linux+ training course has been recognized by ProCert Labs, the official review board for CompTIA, as meeting CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum Requirements (CAQC).

"The popularity of Linux has grown substantially over the past few years," said Jerry Dyas, executive vice president and general manager of SmartCertify. "As a company, we are extremely excited about the future of Linux and the role that we will play in helping IT professionals gain the skills they need to support this widely used operating system."

CompTIA, the Computer Technology Industry Association, created the CompTIA Linux+ certification to measure foundation-level Linux operating system skills and to provide a reliable indicator of knowledge for both job seekers and employers. The CompTIA Linux+ title is vendor neutral and is a lifetime certification - once candidates pass their exam they are certified for life.

SmartCertify's CompTIA Linux+ course includes hands-on interactive exercises and practice assessment tests that help reinforce information learned throughout the duration of the course. Among other features, 24-hour online mentoring is also included with SmartCertify's course. This feature gives certification candidates the opportunity to interact in real-time with certified online mentors who have experienced the testing environment and know the certification process. As with all of SmartCertify's certification training courses, the CompTIA Linux+ course is endorsed with SmartCertify's money-back certification guarantee.
