There are two problems with this:
– Good training materials for a LPIC-3 level exam are quite difficult and
time-consuming to write, and the market is pretty small because
comparatively few people (so far) are aspiring to take the exam. Those
people who are technically (never mind didactically) qualified to come up
with that sort of document in the first place are probably keeping busy
actually *doing* the things that the document would talk about, at a level
of remuneration that is way above what one could ever expect to make
from selling the document, so the incentive isn't really there.
(There are a lot more people who are qualified to write training materials
for something like LPIC-1, and a whole lot more people willing to buy
them, so the equation looks a little more favourable there. By contrast,
during all the years that LPI-301 has existed, the number of times my
company has been asked to teach an LPI-301 prep workshop can be expressed
as a fairly low single decimal figure, and so far we haven't been able to
justify putting in the work required to write an LPI-301 training manual –
simply because it is economically not worth our while.)
– The level of experience that an LPIC-3 level exam requires does not come
from book learning, but from actually doing whatever the exam is about.
This will mean reading the original documentation, web pages, etc., as
well as experimenting, making and correcting mistakes, and generally doing
the sort of thing that will thoroughly familiarise you with the subject.
By the time you are experienced enough to actually attempt the exam, you
will no longer need to read a book that introduces you to the subject
matter, because you will know the subject matter pretty well already.
