The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) has announced major exam updates for its LPIC-1 certification. To support this effort LPI will hold free exam labs at events worldwide, which will enable registered candidates to take their LPIC-1 beta exams, participate in our exam development process, advance professional credentials.<\/p>\n

\u201cLPI Southern Africa is again participating in this round of beta exam testing with sessions taking place in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban\u201d, said Mark Clarke from Jumping Bean, the LPI Southern Africa master affiliate<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cWe really are proud of how the Southern Africa open source community participates in these events and help make LPI a truly global organisation!\u201d Candidates can sign up to the LPI beta labs here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRoutinely refreshing our exams is vital towards keeping the programs current and secure\u201d, LPI\u2019s Director of Certifications Development Fabian Thorns explains. \u201cOur certifications are developed with the assistance of our global community.\u00a0 Beta exams provide community members an opportunity to get a valuable global IT credential while supporting our psychometric validity and quality goals. This maintains the program\u2019s ongoing value to employers and contractors of our certification holders\u201d, said G. Matthew Rice, Executive Director of Linux Professional Institute.<\/p>\n

Both 101 and 102 exams will be offered free of charge, and each exam is 90 minutes duration. As part of the beta process, some test takers may be interviewed by the LPI Exam Development team.<\/p>\n

Beta exams count towards certification if passed, but failed exams may deleted from a candidate\u2019s record upon request. They cover the new version of the LPIC-1 objectives and contain new exam material.<\/p>\n
