The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), a Linux certification organisation, has released new versions of the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certification exams. These new exams are available worldwide in English, German and Japanese through the Prometric and VUE testing networks. Chinese, French, Portuguese and Spanish versions of the LPIC-1 exams will be available through LPI Master Affiliates at special events and training partner exam labs.
"This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Linux Professional Institute, and these revised exams are an excellent example of our ongoing commitment to the industry," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO, the Linux Professional Institute. "During this process, we undertook wide and transparent consultation with enterprise, IT professionals and the Open Source community to determine the best placement of exam content within our programme. In addition, we focussed on mission-critical technologies, both evolving and established, that will continue to be part of the necessary skill set of a Linux professional."
G.Matthew Rice, director, product development, who led the revision effort, said, "This global effort has meant that our exams are much more sensitive to non-English exam candidates and include a greater amount of questions around localisation, internationalisation and accessibility issues. For those involved in our programme since the beginning, this is an accomplishment of particular significance on our 10th anniversary."
Key exam changes include the following: new content, SQL data management, accessibility, localisation and internationalisation, data encryption, more troubleshooting and security, udev device management, more logical volume management and IMAP/POP, amongst others.
