"These updates of our LPIC-2 and LPIC-3 certification program represent
significant changes in our advanced-level Linux certifications and are
the result of extensive consultations with industry leaders, partner
organizations, Linux professionals and others active in the Linux and
Open Source Software ecosystem. We appreciate their input and interest
in continuing to "set the bar" in defining the necessary knowledge and
skill set for Linux professionals," said G.Matthew Rice, director of
product development for LPI. Mr. Rice noted in particular the movement
of Capacity Planning and OpenLDAP topics into LPIC-2 and the "one exam"
approach to LPIC-3 certification (i.e. one of LPI-300, LPI-303 or
LPI-304) as notable and significant changes to these advanced-level
certifications.
Changes to the LPIC-2 and LPIC-3 certification programs were originally
announced in January:
