[olug] Fwd: RE: Linux Professional Institute Certification.

[Christopher Cashell]

Here's the response I got regarding details on the InfoTec hosted LPI
certifications.  It pretty much follows with what Aaron said.

The Linux Professional Institute offers Certification at two levels.

Each level has two parts.  LPI is offering part 1 of each level at
infotec.

Attendees may sit for one part on day 1 and the other part on day 2.
The sessions will run from 10:30 to noon on each day, Wednesday and
Thursday, April 6&7.

It does appear that the infotec online registration will require a
second entry to register for both sessions.  

(Selection is by "radio button" and you can only sign up for one session
at a time.  Our misunderstanding and our apologies.)  

Each part of the LPI exam is a written test and 90 minutes is allotted.
An LPI representative will be there to officially proctor the test
sessions.  Scoring will be returned at a later date.   (See lpi.org for
more detail.)

We found out late that anyone planning to test must have an LPI  ID.
The ID can be obtained by going to the lpi.org site and following the
appropriate links:   "How to get Tested".   /   "STEP 1: Register ".

You will be able to register for an LPI ID at infotec but it must be
done prior to taking the exam.  That means early arrival.

For payment, register through infotec and make payment to infotec.   The
two parts of the two exams are normally priced at $100 each.  The cost
if taken at infotec is $35 each.

Hope this answers some of the questions.  This is the first time we have
dome this and it appears we are learning how it works.

I have a few questions regarding the LINUX PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION
sessions at InfoTec 2005.

There are two sessions, offered Wednesday (W39 - LPI Exam) and Thursday
(TH39 - LPI Exam).  Each are an hour and a half long.  When you go to
register, you have to choose one of the sessions.

My qustion is, what exactly is being offered?  I know the LPI
Certification requires you to pass two exams, 101, and 102.  Are both
being offered?  If so, do you need to register twice in order to take
both of them?

Thank you very much for your time.  If you have any other information
regarding this testing, I'd greatly appreciate it.
