I think you are confusing two things here; the courses run by GeoffNo confusion here, Geoff (and I) have been teaching LPI at Granville Tafe for the past 4 semesters now (I'm actually taking this semester off but will probably go back to it next year).
Robertson at Granville TAFE and LPI Certification.
I found the LPI course work to be very relevant to Linux users generally and sysadmins in particular. I have used pretty much all of the stuff I learnt from LPI in running my own business, which is based on Linux support and coding: Not that LPI teaches you much about coding.
I actually found teaching it the best way to learn it!! (Yes I have LPI and got it first go along with Geof Robertson in June last year.
Earlier this year I did some course development work for Tafe NSW and spent a lot of time getting the LPI courses put into the AQF (Australian Qualification Framework). It is hoped that it will become part of the AQF sometime next year which means it will be recognised both by people in the 'Linux world' as well as those employers who like to see TAFE certificates.
My $2 worth... since inflation and the removal of the 2 cent coin.
