KSK Co., Ltd.’s Initiatives to Obtain Linux Professional Institute (LPIC) Certifications

KSK Co., Ltd. considers the development of highly skilled engineers in the fields of infrastructure, networking, and cloud computing as a key component of its business strategy, and actively supports its employees in obtaining professional certifications.

For Linux engineer development, KSK uses the Linux Professional Institute Certification (LPIC) – the globally recognized certification program from the Linux Professional Institute (LPI), as one of its benchmarks for technical proficiency. The company promotes Linux skills development from foundational to advanced levels through LPIC-1 and LPIC-2. Through this approach, the company is fostering engineers capable of handling a wide range of system infrastructure projects, including server setup and operation, networking, virtualization, and cloud environments.

KSK has established certification support systems and training programs to provide an environment where employees can continuously enhance their skills. As a result, as of the end of March 2026, 1,211 employees have earned the LPIC-1 certification, and 216 hold the  LPIC-3 certification, demonstrating  the company’s ongoing commitment to developing highly skilled Linux engineers. Furthermore, as of the end of March 2026, the average number of certifications held per employee stood at 4.62, demonstrating that certification acquisition has become an integral part of the company’s culture (KSK Group).

Linux Professional Institute (LPI) certifications are widely recognized as globally standardized, vendor-neutral credentials. At KSK, the knowledge acquired through LPIC is applied directly to actual projects, enabling the company to simultaneously deliver high-quality infrastructure services while supporting the career development of its engineers.  By fostering talent from the foundational and practical skills validated by LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 through to the advanced specialization represented by LPIC-3, KSK has made LPIC an integral part of its strategy for strengthening technical capabilities.
