The Linux Professional Institute Certification (LPIC) program is designed to certify the competency of IT professionals using the Linux operating system and its associated tools. It is designed to be distribution neutral, following the Linux Standard Base and other relevant standards and conventions.
The LPIC program is designed in multiple levels. Determining which tasks were suitable to each level was done using a "Job Task Analysis" (JTA) survey. As with all of the LPIC exam development processes, the JTA was developed and executed using recognized psychometric processes, to ensure its relevance and high quality.
LPIC-1
Junior Level Linux Certification
The first IT certification program to be professionally accredited by National Commission For Certifying Agencies.
To pass Level 1 you should be able to:
- Work at the Linux command line
- Perform easy maintenance tasks: help out users, add users to a larger system, backup & restore, shutdown & reboot
- Install and configure a workstation (including X) and connect it to a LAN, or a stand-alone PC via modem to the Internet
LPIC-2
Advanced Level Linux Certification
You must have an active LPIC-1 certification to receive LPIC-2 certification, but the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 exams may be taken in any order.
To pass Level 2 you should be able to:
- Administer a small to medium-sized site
- Plan, implement, maintain, keep consistent, secure, and troubleshoot a small mixed (MS, Linux) network
- Supervise assistants
- Advise management on automation and purchases
LPIC-3
Senior Level Linux Certification
The LPIC-3 Certification program represents the culmination of LPI's Certification Program.
LPIC-3 is designed for the "enterprise-level" Linux professional. The program has been developed with the input of hundreds of Linux professionals from around the globe and with input from some of the world's leading technology companies. It also represents the highest level of professional, distribution-neutral Linux certification within the industry
Testing
LPI exams are delivered through a number of different methods; choose one that's most convenient:
You must provide your LPI ID to the test centers when registering for an exam. If you do not provide your LPI ID, your exam may not get loaded.
You can register for LPI exams through one of the thousands of Pearson VUE testing centers worldwide. Once you have located a convenient Pearson VUE center, you may schedule to take an LPI exam either online or by phone.
(PLEASE NOTE: Effective July 1, 2012, LPI exams will be delivered exclusively with Pearson VUE via its worldwide network of more than 5,000 testing centers. LPI certification exams will no longer be available at Prometric testing centers at that time.)
