Well, the easiest way would be to just sit the LPI exams at a local exam lab. With 12 years experience you should be in the pass zone, and they a pretty cheap to take.
We'll be running another lab with LPI shortly (just building a better exam booking system for it right now), exams will cost �50 per paper. Background information and objectives here: http://www.lpi.org/en/lpic.html We'll be offering LPIC1 courses later this year, but to be honest, if you haven't been working as a Junior Sysadmin for several years, a course will not enable you to pass the exams, there's too much material at too deep a level, nothing counts more than experience when it comes to these papers, and that's why they are increasingly valued by employers.

I have never been on any course for any of the stuff, knowing that I will possibly a) not learn anything drastically new b) be in a class where i will be totally more experienced than the other course takers c) bored to death and lose interest. I am not all that keen on Linux, being a FreeBSD, Solaris fan How does one like me, attain some of these qualifications 'that is desireable' which the pimp will promote to get me a better position? -Gary PS: I am asking this out of curiousity, not that I am unhappy or needing another job..
