There are many ways you can prepare for a LPI exam.
The process of preparing for LPI exams is really an individual choice. Some people may find that by simply looking at the exam objectives and studying on their own (using man pages, HOWTOs, etc.), they may feel confident they can take the exam. Other people may want to read books, take web-based or computer-based training, or actually go through instructor-led classes offered by a training center.
We believe that the choice should be yours, and that you should not be pressured into taking one particular approach to exam preparation. That is why LPI has committed that it will never designate an "official" set of LPI training materials. We are very proud of our support by many creators of training materials and believe in maximum choice for those seeking to take LPI exams.
Some people will find everything they need to prepare right here on the LPI website.
For every exam LPI publishes a set of Objectives. This is a definitive, detailed guide to the subject matter which is to be tested on each exam. People who already have some experience at Linux and are capable of teaching themselves through self-study may find this sufficient to help them prepare. LPI also provides a general task list and a limited number of sample questions for each exam.
