Want to learn linux system administration. Where to start?

I really like Linux and would like to learn more to eventually obtain a job as a type of linux sys admin role or cloud technology. I currently have over 7 years of IT application support experience at the senior level and would like to specialize in something or obtain a more technical role.
I thought a certification in Linux system administration would be a good place to start but I am a bit confused in regards to the LPIC-101 and Linux+. Are these the same tests? If I take the LPIC-101 and pass it would that grant me a Linux+ certification?
Is Linux Academy a good place to learn this material? I feel I learn best by listening to someone teach it and interacting with the commands and exercises with them rather than reading a book. I'd also prefer some type of material that kind of forces you to actually learn the material by offering quizzes or practice exercises.

Most Linux Admin type jobs ask for many other stuffs such as scripting (bash/python), configuration management (chef/puppet/ansible) and sometime even they ask for php, java, etc. So by just learning Linux probably won’t help you that much on landing a Linux Sysadmin type job. You need to learn at least few of those other stuffs. Another problem is, unlike Windows, junior sysadmin type jobs are very rare in Linux.
