Following the development of a program structure and a job description for a given exam (or series of exams that make up a level of certification), the next stage is to objectively and scientifically determine the actual skills, tasks and areas of knowledge that are necessary for that job.
The third major stage of development is to use the results from the Job Analysis Study to develop the actual objectives for the exam(s). Objectives express specific things that Linux professionals must be able to do. Each objective is assigned a weighting value indicating its importance relative to other objectives.
With the objectives finalized, the next stage is to write the questions that will appear on the exams (note that within the world of exam development, a question is referred to as an item).
After all of the items have been collected and reviewed, the next stage of development is to actually assemble the items into exams and deploy the exams globally.
