About the course

Welcome to the Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate Course! This course is designed to help you sit and pass the Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate exam. This is a beginner level certification created for those who are interested in starting a career in Information Technology, either as a practitioner or manager. No prior knowledge is required to begin this course, and no prerequisites are required in order to sit the exam. The course is broken down into six primary sections that mirror the domains and competencies put forth by the Linux Foundation for the exam. The sections are as follows: Linux Fundamentals, System Administration Fundamentals, Cloud Computing Fundamentals, Security Fundamentals, DevOps Fundamentals, and Supporting Applications and Developers. Once you’ve completed this course, you will have greater knowledge in several different IT-related fields and will be prepared to sit and pass the LFCA exam.
