>> People need the tutorial and a good three years behind the keyboard.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with actually making this a requirement. There are certainly many certification that have the demonstration of "years of practice" as a requirement for a high-level credential, mandating that exams alone are not enough. With no such demand for experience to achieve Level 3, it is inevitable in the hyper-competitive world of IT training that someone will write an LPIC3 tutorial, offer an LPIC3 bootcamp, and/or produce LPIC3 braindumps -- if sufficient interest in LPIC3 exists. Speaking about whether these _should_ be done is pointless, the only question is whether the size of the market of Level 3 candidates will make these tools sufficiently profitable to produce. Of course, it would be more expensive to deliver a program with an experience requirement since LPI would need the resources to perform due diligence on candidate claims. However, perhaps the reputation benefit (of a cert that could not be achieved only by intense study/memorization) would be worth the additional cost of such an elite credential. - Evan _______________________________________________ lpi-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-discuss
