SYNOPSIS
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.
