Linux LPI Level 1 Certification - Overview

- can install and configure a work station (incl. X) and connect it to the LAN, or a stand-alone PC via modem to the Internet.
Linux LPI Level 1 Certification - Benefits
Reasons for LPI Linux Level 1 Certification include career advancement, personal improvement, skills enhancement, and higher salaries. According to the Network Computing Special Careers Issue, http://www.networkcomputing.com, the networking professionals that enjoyed the largest compensation increases were those that achieved Linux Professional Institute Certificates.

"It gives us an extra degree of flexibility when it comes to providing the right solutions...".

"Firebrand* experience is intensive, but very fulfilling. Each day is crammed with information and labwork to help you better understand the subject matter.
A day typically starts with a classroom session, laying the foundations. This is then followed with lab sessions putting everything into practice.
At the end of the day there is a review session, allowing the time to find any areas which are not fully understood or to ask questions. Typically then, each evening is completed with a reading session to gain an understanding of the following days material.
The intensive nature ensures complete focus throughout the program.
All in all an enjoyable and fulfilling, if exhausting time."
