Torne-se um Parceiro de Treinamento

O Linux Professional Institute (LPI), como uma organização independente do fornecedor, não possui um único método “oficial” de preparação para o teste. Nós encorajamos editores, escolas e centros de treinamento a trabalharem juntos dentro da comunidade para encorajar a escolha, flexibilidade e inovação. No entanto, também incentivamos o desenvolvimento de programas de treinamento tradicionais por meio de nossos Parceiros de Treinamento Autorizados LPI (LPI-ATP) e Parceiros Acadêmicos Aprovados LPI (LPI-AAP).

LPI Authorized Training Partner (LPI-ATP) and LPI Approved Academic Partner Program (LPI-AAP)

The LPI-ATP and LPI-AAP Program differentiates and substantially increases the objective standing of training organizations by showing a higher level of commitment to LPI through the use of LPI learning material or third party training courseware, LPI registered instructors, and adherence to LPI's Training and Academic Code of Ethics.

The LPI-ATP Program was created for training companies, willing to add value to their training and learning material offerings, allowing their students to get a professional Open Source certification when finishing their IT course.

The LPI-AAP Program is designed for schools, colleges and universities teaching IT, willing to add value to their graduation programs, so that their graduates can start their careers with a professional IT certification in Open Source.

  • Worldwide, LPIC-2 holders are #1 with the highest salary of all Linux certifications.  LPIC-1 holders are #2.

Training organization requirements

In classroom learning, there will be at least one instructor (contractor or employee) in the organization that is certified at each LPI level for which they are providing training — each training organization will be allowed some flexibility and ramp up time on the TOTAL number of certified individuals required (normally one year since the start of the partnership, but this can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending upon organization size and market share).
  3. The organization will provide a learning program that is of merit, reflecting the good intent, neutrality, and objective measures of the LPI certification program in the Linux community.
  4. The organization will develop, publish, and follow a clear road map for linking their Linux courses to LPI certifications so that individuals can readily plan their career development.
  5. The organization will offer courses based on accepted instructional design methodologies for each modality used. Course procedures and content will be valid and reliable.
  6. The organization will encourage hands-on and/or simulation practice as part of their program.
  7. The organization will provide objective and standardized means to evaluate student skills as part of their program.
