The Linux LPI-101 Course is part one of an exam syllabus designed to lead to LPIC-1 Junior Level Administration certification.
Linux Professional Institute (LPI) promote and certify essential skills on Linux and Open Source technologies through the global delivery of comprehensive, top quality, vendor-independent exams.
The LPI certification program is arranged into three main levels by job tasks. eLearning Centre offers LPI Approved Training Material for the LPIC-1 (Level I) and LPIC-2 (Level 2) certifications.
Open-source operating systems, most notably Linux, are rapidly gaining ground on more popular proprietary software. Much of this success is due to the efforts of the Linux Professional Institute (LPI).
Besides promoting the use of Linux-based, open-source and free software, LPI seeks to advance the skills of professionals who use these systems through its LPI certification program.
The LPI Certification Program is:
-
Designed by a community of Linux professionals, volunteers, vendors and educators.
-
Challenging: if you don't know the subjects you won't pass.
-
Accessible and available at thousands of test centres around the world or at special events.
