The Linux Foundation worked with industry experts and the project’s community to identify the core domains and the critical skills, knowledge and competencies applicable to each certification. Performance-based exams were then developed based on the competencies that were identified.
Exam Details & Resources
This exam is an online, proctored, performance-based test that requires solving multiple issues from a command line running Linux. Candidates have 2 hours to complete the tasks. Please review The Linux Foundation certification Policies and FAQ below.
About the LFCS
LFCS was developed by The Linux Foundation to help meet the increasing demand for Linux administration talent. The exam consists of performance-based items that simulate on-the-job tasks and scenarios faced by sysadmins in the real world. The exam is independent of distribution-specific tasks, therefore selecting a platform in the exam preparation checklist is no longer required.

Once enrolled you will receive access to an exam simulator, provided by Killer.sh, allowing you to experience the exam environment. You will have two simulation attempts (36 hours of access for each attempt from the start of activation). The simulation includes 20-25 questions that are exactly the same for every attempt and every user, unlike the actual exam. The simulation will provide graded results.

Prerequisites
There are no pre-requisites for this exam.

The exam tests very practical skills that are useful in the day to day job. I am very impressed by how good the web terminal is, it feels just like a normal terminal emulator.

The Interface is user friendly, and the file name paths are now hyperlinked, making them easy to copy - Great IMPROVEMENT!

Nice selection of exercises from various aspects of Linux administration. I can tell that knowing things that came up in the exam is a must for a server administrator.

The dynamics are better than others. It is best to start, and work from a shell.
