[Dorset] study material

2010-11-16 Thread Nicky Scopes
hello all,
i have been studying linux and have achieved LPIC level 1 and have done so 
using 
self study materials from sybex.com
the only problem is that neither sybex or oreilly publish material for the 
level 
2 exams, i have looked on amazon.co.uk and amazon.com and found nothing, does 
anyone have any suggestions as to where to get such material.
the only other alternative is taking the official course and spending £3,000.
any help would be appreciated.

Abstract

Audience:  this book is intended to help people prepare for the LPIC-2
exam. You will need to have at least 2 years of practical experience
with Unix, preferably Linux. Though you may take the LPIC-2 exam without
it, you should be an LPIC-1 alumnus to be allowed to the titles and
rights that come with the LPIC-2 certification.

Approach:  We wanted to create a set of documents that could help us and
others pass the LPIC-2 exams. This book contains all the information
(and more) needed to pass the exam.

Sources:  Our sources of information were partly material on the
Internet. Mostly practical experience of the authors and others and
research done by the authors are to be credited. We try to give credit
where due, but are fallible. We apologize.

Caution

While every precaution was made in the preparation of this book, we can
assume no responsibility for errors or omissions. When you feel we have
not given you proper credit or feel we may have violated your rights or
when you have suggestions how we may improve our work please notify us
immediately so we can take corrective actions.


Organization of this book:  This book has been organized to follow the
Linux Professional Institute level 2 objectives for LPIC-2
certification, first release November 29th 2001, and updated April 1st
2009. The detailed objectives are available via
http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification/the_lpic_program/lpic_2. In case
the objectives are updated, the book will follow shortly thereafter. The
authors use the DocBook documentation standard for this book.

Nicky

These people should be able to help you:

http://www.linuxit.com/services/delivery-services/training

They had an article about training in the Linux Advantage, which made me aware 
of this.

I've no idea what costs are involved though.
