FAQs

What will you learn in this SK0-005 server administration training?

You'll learn the fundamentals of maintaining servers in data centers, for on-premise networks, and in hybrid environments. This course teaches hands-on skills in server hardware and software installation, maintenance, and management. Because it's modeled on a CompTIA certification, you don't learn any one manufacturer, but instead broad-based skills that apply to any vendor.

Who should take this CompTIA Server+ course?

This course is designed for a wide range of IT professionals and administrators: server admins, network administrators, sysads, and even data center or field service technicians will benefit from this course. Realistically, anyone who interacts with server hardware or software can take this course and be much more confident in their daily tasks.

Is this training in server administration associated with any certifications?

Yes, this server administration course is designed specifically to prepare learners for Server+ from CompTIA. The Server+ is an early career certification focused on server hardware installation and management, server administration, security and disaster recovery, and troubleshooting. The SK0-005 exam stands between you and the Server+ and this course is designed to prepare you for it.

What certification should you consider after taking this course in server installation and administration?

One of the best things about this course is also one of the best things about the Server+: they're vendor-agnostic. Unlike certifications from manufacturers like Cisco, AWS or Microsoft, the Server+ applies broadly to server administration, regardless of the hardware or software you work on. The Server+ is the cert to aim for after finishing this course.

Why should you take this CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 training?

You should take this training so that there's no part of server administration and maintenance that you're not completely comfortable with. If any part of your job deals with managing and maintaining servers, configuring security measures on servers, installing servers in data centers or on-prem racks, prepare yourself for any server-related problem with this course.

Who is this for?

This Server+ training is considered foundational-level CompTIA training, which means it was designed for systems administrators. This server technologies skills course is valuable for new IT professionals with at least a year of experience with proprietary and open source server technologies and experienced systems administrators looking to validate their CompTIA skills.

What our learners say

Very easy and fun way to learn. Keith Barker is my favorite, he'll throw in jokes here and there and it makes me remember certain study points. I highly recommend this app and purchasing subscriptions, it is truly worth the money.

The more I put into learning, the more skills I’m going to have — and the better I’m going to be technically.
Knox Hutchinson | CBT Nuggets trainer since 2018
Having access to on-demand labs that I could spin up instantly was very helpful. I didn’t have to have a home environment with a bunch of virtual machines spun up. Or worry about destroying things.
