"We congratulate LPI e.V on its 10th Anniversary within the LPI
organization. Over the years they have demonstrated their thorough
commitment to promoting Linux professionals and the use of Linux and
Open Source Software. LPI e.V also has an exemplary history of
involvement with our exam development process which makes them the ideal
hosts for the first set of "beta" exams for our revised LPIC-2 and
LPIC-3 exams," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI.
"Beta" exams are an integral part of the exam development (or revision)
process where tests are administered to exam candidates to determine if
exam questions are in fact measuring skills and competencies as outlined
in the objectives (for more information on this part of the exam
development process see:
http://www.lpi.org/linux-certifications/structure/exam-creat...). During
LinuxTag, "beta" exams will be offered free to participating LPIC alumni
who wish to assist with the exam development process. Although exam
results will not be recorded in an exam candidates' record, passed exams
will be accepted towards a LPIC-2 or LPIC-3 certification.
"Beta" exams will be available on Thursday, May 23rd from 10:00 - 13:00
hrs. and again from 14:00 - 17:00 hrs., May 23rd, in room "Regensburg",
Hall 4.1, LinuxTag. Each exam takes 180 minutes to complete.
Participation is open, but preference will be given to LPI alumni who
hold an existing LPIC-2 or LPIC-3 certification. Exam candidates should
