LPI to update LPIC-1 and LPIC-2

LPI (Linux Professional Institute) is revising it’s current LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certification programs and the updated certification program is set to be launched in April 1, 2009.

What this means to me is that if I am to take any of the exams, I better do it before the updated certification program take place, or wait at least for another year. This is because it’s gonna take quite a while before books that are based on the new objectives to be made available on the shelves. This is true especially for the LPIC-2 certification, which even for the current certification program, there’s only one book (to the best of my knowledge) that covers it which is O’Reily’s LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition.

I can just hope Ditesh to organize a new el-cheapo LPI exams as it’s gonna cost RM574 per paper for the exam, and with two papers to pass per certification, it’s gonna hurt my budget big time.

/* I’ve started studying for the LPIC-2 exams (I’m already LPIC-1 certified, but is due to expire later this year), and it would be nice to know if anyone else is to join me taking the exams */
