Hello Alan, > in my country 2 years ago, there were 22 LPIC-1 > graduates and 2 LPIC-2 graduates. There are now many hundreds more
1. What effect will the drop from 10 to 5 years have in your country? 2. Is it a problem to convince candidates in your country to spend time and money every 5 years (or even better every 2 years) to recertificate and stay ACTIVE instead of every 10 years? 3. Do you think that employers in your country want a drop from 10 to 5 years? My answers for my country: 1. The number of exams will not raise. 2. It will become harder to convince candidates. 3. No. Because 95% don't know the difference between LPIC ACTIVE/INACTIVE. (If they would know the difference 99,9% would want the drop because it is a drop - thats's Germany.) IMHO dropping from 10 to 5 makes it all worse in Germany. The biggest challenge here is that not enough employers know what LPIC is and I would be pleased when the LPI would develop ideas to improve it instead of discourage candidates and upset volunteers. > Scott, Glenn, Matt and the rest ... > Which one of you is going to be the first with enough balls to own > up to making a mistake and propose a way to rectify it? Is there anybody on the list who is able to do it? Or is it really necessary to organize a sit-in in front of the LPI headquarters in Toronto? ;-) Bye Karl _______________________________________________ lpi-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-discuss
