You are here for CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-006). Fifteen domains, 42 hands-on labs, then you sit the exam. The CompTIA decks live in this portal. The labs run in the IP Lab Portal. Graded homework goes to MyIP Portal, not here.
What you’ll walk away with
How Linux is put togetherThe shell, the filesystem hierarchy, processes, and permissions. You need this before any command will stick.
All fifteen exam domainsWe run CompTIA’s own decks in CompTIA’s own order, from Identifying Basic Linux Concepts through Automating Infrastructure Management.
42 labs you type throughLive Labs on real machines, Applied Live Labs that pull a whole domain together, and Challenge Live Labs with no hand-holding. Reading one is not the same as running it.
Practice examsUse them to find the holes. Do not treat a passing mock as a reason to skip a domain.
Homework in MyIP PortalExam Edge and other homework are submitted in MyIP Portal. This portal does not take that homework.
Skills that outlast the certUsers, services, storage, networking, and logs on a real machine. The same work whether the box is on a desk or in a cloud.
What is in this portal
Domain MaterialThe first page under each domain. It is the CompTIA instructor deck, embedded as slides — arrow keys or the on-screen controls to move, and a fullscreen button for the back of the room.
Lab pagesEverything under Domain Material is a lab, listed in the order the course runs them. Each page carries one button that opens that exact lab in the IP Lab Portal. The steps themselves live there, not here.
Study PlanOne page per cohort in the sidebar. Find yours — evening, weekday, or weekend — for the running order and the Exam Edge due dates.

Ground rules
No question is too dumbIf you are wondering it, three other people in the room are too. Ask.
Interrupt me wheneverThis is a workshop, not a webinar. Stop me the moment something does not click.
Do the labsReading is not the same as typing. There are 42 of them in the IP Lab Portal. Submit homework in MyIP Portal.
How to move through the material
01Find your cohortEvening, weekday, and weekend groups run the same material on different days. Open the Study Plan section in the sidebar and use the page for your class.
02Slides in classWe walk the domains in order, one deck at a time. Your instructor sets the pace and you take notes.
03Labs in the IP Lab PortalWhen we hit a lab, the talking stops. Open the lab page, hit the button, launch it, do the work.
04Mocks, then the examThe last sessions are revision and two full mocks. Sit Linux+ while the material is still fresh.
