LPI Seeks Questions for Certification Exam FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TORONTO, September 3, 1999 -- The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) invites members of the Linux community to submit test questions for consideration in its first-level certification exams. Questions can be submitted through a web interface at http://www.lpi.org/cgi-bin/tips.py. "It's been a long journey, but we're now heading into the home stretch." says LPI Exam Development Director Scott Murray. "With help from our supporters, we will soon fullfill our goal of deploying the first community-developed Linux certification program." Questions submitted will be rigorously screened and reviewed for technical accuracy and relevance by the LPI psychometric team. Questions which survive this process will appear on the actual exams, which are to be deployed internationally within the next four to six weeks. While all submitters will be recognized by LPI on its website, for security reasons we cannot acknowledge whether specific questions have been accepted or not. LPI's first exam, T1, covers common fundamental aspects of Linux system administration. A second exam, T2, will be offered for each of the major Linux distributions. Completion of the T1 exam and one of the T2 exams is required to achieve LPI's first level Linux certificate, LPIC-1, which is targeted at junior Linux administrators. Future exams are planned covering more advanced topics, as well as the distinctions between the major Linux distributions. On the LPI website, submitters can browse the exam objectives and select for which ones they'd like to submit questions. Detailed online instructions are provided. At the present time, the interface allows submission of only multiple-choice type items, but the institute is developing methods of accepting other types of questions. The Linux Professional Institute is a non-profit community organization started in 1998. It was formed by a group of volunteers dedicated to the goal of creating a community-based, vender-neutral professional competency certification program for Linux.
