Weekday — IAD1-B

Weeks 1 to 3 each ask the same four things of you: read the slides for that week’s domains, run every lab in them, complete any 25% of the available IP Learn simulations, and submit the matching Exam Edge assignments. Each Exam Edge assignment has the same number as its domain. Week 4 covers the final 25% of the simulations, revision, the Final Assignment and the CompTIA Linux+ exam. Slides are on the domain pages in this portal. Labs launch from their own page into the IP Lab Portal. Simulations and Exam Edge are graded in MyIP Portal — not here.
