Hi everyone,
The LPIC-1 JTA survey is live at:
https://www.lpi.org/caf/Xamdev/jta
You need a valid login/LPI ID to do the survey. (NOTE: the login page
doesn't say it but, if you can't remember your login, you can use your e-mail
address or full LPI ID [with the 'LPI' string at the start of the ID].)
Also, as with the LPIC-3 JTA survey that we did last year, we're offering 100
free exams (details below) to survey takers. 50 exams will go to the first
50 to complete the survey and the other 50 will be randomly awarded.
Below are some details on the survey and how this process works.
What is the purpose of the Job Task Analysis (JTA) survey?
The JTA survey is being performed so that LPI can determine how much
coverage is required for each objective on the LPIC-1 exams. The tasks
that are being reviewed will provide the psychometrician with the data
that is needed to make this determination (these are the weights that
you have seen on the LPI exams since they began).
For each job task, you will be asked to comment on:
- how often the specific task is performed (or understanding of
a concept is required)
- how important it is to know this task or concept
The JTA survey should be taken by anyone that is in this role in the
profession or has knowledge of the tasks involved in this role; such
as managers and project planners.
Bonus for Linux Professionals Helping with the JTA
As an incentive for people to help with the JTA survey, we will award
one (1) of fifty (50) exam to the first 50 people to complete at least
80% of the LPIC-1 JTA as well as randomly award one (1) of one fifty
(50) exam vouchers to Linux professionals that also complete at least
80% the LPIC-1 JTA (currently, there are about 150 tasks in the survey).
These vouchers will be usable at any exam lab the LPI holds at various
worldwide events such as LinuxWorld, IT360, and other regional events.
Sorry, we cannot make these vouchers valid at the computer-based testing
centres. If you cannot attend any LPI exam labs, you can transfer the
voucher to another LPI candidate and they are valid until Dec 31, 2009.
We anticipate that 300-400 Linux professionals will participate in this
survey.
The eligibility period for this draw ends on March 31st, 2008.
The Minimally Qualified Candidate (MQC)
The MQC is a description of the Linux professional that would be
able to pass the LPIC-1 exams. This description should be read before
starting the survey.
The full description is at:
https://group.lpi.org/publicwiki/bin/view/Examdev/LPIC-1#The_Minimally_Qualified_Candidat
The Location of the JTA
The JTA is available at: https://www.lpi.org/caf/Xamdev/jta
You will need to provide your LPI username (or e-mail address or full
LPI ID) and password. This is so that we may track your progress
through the task list. It also means that you do not have to finish
the JTA survey in one pass. Just return when you are able and you
will only have to review the tasks that you have not seen already.
Using your username and password also lets us find you if you are one
of the Linux professionals awards the exam voucher (see above).
Regards and happy surveying,
