"The Open Source Development Group (OSDgroup) (http://www.osdgroup.com/), an open-source software training company, is now including free Linux Professional Institute (LPI) (http://www.lpi.org/) certification exam vouchers as part of its Linux training courses until March 15, 2003." The free vouchers are redeemable at any testing facility offering LPI certification exams, including Prometric and VUE testing facilities.
"Our joint program with the OSDgroup is just another initiative we are taking to encourage Linux training and certification among corporate and government IT professionals," says LPI's president Evan Leibovitch. "As Linux continues to gain acceptance and recognition, it is extremely important these professionals take a complete holistic approach to their Linux training and certification process that will lead to better employment opportunities."
"Testing and certification is an integral part of the complete training solution," adds OSDgroup's president John Weathersby. "By offering free LPI certification exams, we are encouraging IT professionals, who are deploying and maintaining Linux systems in increasing numbers in the corporate and public sectors, to stand up and be counted as a truly certified Linux professional."
OSDgroup provides a variety of open-source software training solutions to corporate and government clients including the recently announced training program for Security Enhanced Linux (http://www.securityenhancedlinux.com) . The joint program with LPI applies to OSDgroup training courses that lead to LPI's Level One and Level Two certifications.
LPI is the premier professional certification program for the Linux community. LPI's mandate is to design and deliver a certification program from within the Linux community, using both volunteer and professional resources. It has been ranked number one on the list of certifications expected to rise the 'fastest in importance' according to the recently released 2002 CRN Certification study. LPI has also been selected as the winner, for the second consecutive year, of the Linux Journal's annual Editors' Choice Awards in the Training and Certification category. LPI has delivered almost 20,000 Level One and Level Two certification exams globally since the program's inception in January 2000.
