The Linux Professional Institute’s
LPIC1 - Junior Level
Administration is an entry level
certification for IT professionals
who want to show a base level of
“vendor independent and
distribution neutral” knowledge of
Linux. The LPIC1 certification
emerged in January 2000 and has
been revised as of March 2003.
There are no specific
prerequisites for the LPIC1,
although candidates should be able
to perform these tasks: work at
the Linux command line; perform
easy maintenance tasks: help out
users, add users to a larger
system, backup and restore,
shutdown and reboot; and install
and configure a workstation
(including X) and connect it to a
LAN, or a stand-alone PC via modem
to the Internet
Job roles of those pursuing
this certification typically
include: system administrators and
network administrators. Some of
these administrators will be
junior ones while others may be
quite experienced in other
operating systems, such as
Windows, NetWare and UNIX, but new
to Linux.
In terms of recertification,
this is what the LPI says: “We
made the decision then that we
would not expire the
certifications. We do recommend
that our alumni consider
voluntarily recertifying every few
years as technology changes but we
do not require it.”
To achieve the LPIC1, a
candidate must pass two exams.
