LPIC 1 – Great course, well taught, and highly relevant to working on the Linux platform.
Paul ReevesTechnical EngineerAardman
The Linux Essentials is a great foundation level certification to gain the basic understanding of Linux and computer systems. The perfect cert to get young people into Linux! The LPIC Certification has helped UKFast to enhance the methods our engineers use to perform their jobs, and in turn has improved the speed of their development, productivity and the quality of support they are providing to our customers.
Aaron SaxtonThe Director of Training and EducationUKFast
Would I recommend LPI? Absolutely! Linux is now the by far the most ubiquitous operating system on the planet, from the international space station, the internet and on desktop computers, Linux is everywhere. Why would you NOT want to learn Linux. For me the LPI Linux Essentials exam was the perfect tool, it gave me a great point of focus, and booking the exam gave me a target to work towards, as well as the motivation to achieve a pass. The exam objectives took me on journey from understanding …

I can highly recommend LPIC 1 as a great entry level qualification into the world of Linux. Although I had extensive knowledge before going through the course I still learned on ways to improve my workflow and it introduced me to some concepts I didn’t think of doing before. LPIC 1 is the ideal qualification for an entry level Linux Administrator or even the Experienced Administrator looking to refresh their skill set and update their knowledge. I am definitely looking to progress to LPIC 2 & 3.…

To my mind LPI is the best Linux Certification path. Truly distribution agnostic with real content that can be applied in all situations. Anyone with this has the knowledge to delve into and understand any Linux system. A truly useful technical qualification.To my mind LPI is the best Linux Certification path.

One of the main reasons I selected LPI was that the courses are not distribution-specific. They give you knowledge in all areas. A good example of this that both rpm and deb package formats are taught and at no point is one recommended above the other. Another area where LPi scores is in the Linux networking area where this extensive topic has been split over a number of sections rather than have one large section.

I work for BT Security. I wanted a Linux certification to show that I know Linux, However, whilst studying for the LPIC-1 I found out a new thing or two! Secondly, I work with many devices such as Juniper and Checkpoint Firewalls, Proxies, Splunk etc that typically use Linux as their background OS. They usually are slightly different to each other but I found the LPIC covers most variations. Especially the various methods of carrying out service control or adding user accounts. So overall I was …

I am pleased to commend the LPIC 1 certification as an essential starting point for any professional on a Linux based career path. At the UK Open University we have been pleased to link our introductory Linux academic module to the LPIC 1 as this has offered our students potential career enhancement.
Andrew SmithLecturer in NetworkingThe Open University
I studied LPI as I wanted to further my knowledge in Linux. The OS, our company’s platform is ran on, is CentOS. I was to be technical support, but had very little Linux experience. I took the LPI course to further my skills and knowledge and ultimately give myself a better position in my work. The company I work for is Davra Networks. We are provide a platform that allows customers to define, build and bring IoT (Internet of Things) applications. The benefits of having the LPI certification h…
