The LFCS certification exam is performance based and hence needs a lot of practice, not memorization or brain dumps. You will be required to perform tasks on a live system and your score will be based on the correctness of the tasks performed. It is a 2 hour test and requires a 74% passing score.
LFCS is very high in-demand certification that is OS agnostic. Unlike some other certifications out there, you won't be required to stick to only one operating system. You will be given a choice to either pick up CentOS or Ubuntu as the operating system of your choice. Both of these operating systems are available for free and I will show you how to download and install them in a virtual environment in the first section of the course.
