Before you start CKA
Is this course current for the CKA exam?
It follows the current CKA exam guide — all 7 exam domains, with the weights shown on this page, and was last updated November 2026.
Official CKA exam page ↗How do I book the CKA exam, and what does it cost?
You book it directly with the Linux Foundation. The official exam page lists the current fee, format, length and passing score, which can vary by country.
Official CKA exam page ↗Is this an exam dump?
No. The lessons and quiz questions are written to teach the exam objectives, and every answer comes with an explanation. Real exam questions (“dumps”) break the exam provider’s candidate agreement and can cost you the certification.
How long does it take?
About 11 hours of lessons, videos and hands-on walkthroughs across 11 modules, plus a 50-question practice exam. We suggest planning around 90 hours of total study time for CKA, including review and practice.
What’s free?
Module 1 in full — lessons, hands-on walkthrough and quiz — with no card required. Any paid plan (from $8.99/mo) unlocks all 11 modules and the practice exam, and starts with a 14-day free trial.
