What is Linux Pro? 

Linux Pro is a high-quality, all-in-one e-learning curriculum that is easy to use and will provide instructors with the hands-on training needed to prepare students to advance their career in IT. Hosted on the online TestOut learning platform, LabSim, it provides a comprehensive experience and hours of content for training practical skills through interactive learning modules. Instructional lessons are combined with instructor-led videos, demonstrations, quizzes, practice exams, and performance-based lab simulations to provide hours of content to prepare students for the CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) certification exam.

LabSim is ideal for learning Linux instances in a variety of classroom formats; self-paced, in person, online, hybrid, and flipped. As an online resource, it also works with PCs, Macs, laptops, and Chrome books.

When used in a classroom environment, LabSim empowers instructor and administrator success by providing easy-to-use course management tools, LMS integration, a comprehensive suite of instructor resources, and reporting and analytics options which make tracking student progress effective and efficient.

• Engaging video lessons and text lessons teach Linux command-line skills

• Performance-based labs simulations provide application to real-world scenarios such as managing files, packets and groups using Linux command-line.
• Labs and assessments (custom and certification practice exams) provide detailed feedback reports and scores
• Automatic grading and teaching resources help guide the classroom experience
