*Linux Professional Institute to Develop Enterprise-level "Security" Exam*
(Sacramento, USA, March 27, 2008) The Linux Professional Institute
(LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization
(http://www.lpi.org), announced the development of a new "Security" exam
elective for its LPIC-3 certification program.
Early in 2007 LPI launched the enterprise level certification program,
LPIC-3, with a core certification exam (LPI-301) and a "Mixed
Environment" elective (LPI-302). In 2008 LPI will develop a "Security"
elective (LPI-303) to accompany this level of the program. The
introduction of this advanced-level "Security" elective follows
extensive consultation with industry leaders and enterprise customers on
priorities for the LPIC-3 program.
Exam development for the LPI-303 "Security" elective is underway with
the identification of job tasks associated with qualified candidates who
have expertise in enterprise-level security skills. This will be
followed by an extensive global Job Task Analysis survey in July-August
2008. The exam development program will also include objective and item
development and a series of "beta" exams at special events around the
world (October-November 2008). The initial LPIC-3 exams made successful
and extensive use of volunteer participation in special "beta" exam
events. Final exams are expected to be published and launched at the
end of February 2009.
Linux professionals interested in participating in the exam development
process or in taking the LPI-303 "beta" exams to be offered later in the
year are invited to join LPI's exam development mailing list at:

In February LPI also issued a call for volunteers to assist in an
updated Job Task Analysis (JTA) survey for the organization's LPIC-1 and
LPIC-2 certification programs. For more information on the updated JTA
survey please
