LPI Level 3 enters BETA !

lordy

Dear all,

as I've seen questions on the LPI Level 3 certification in different forums I just wanted to let everybody know that LPI has now invited people (including me ) to a Level 3 Beta Examlab in Utrecht, Netherlands next week.

Unfortunately, due to the short notice, I will not be able to participate and share this with you but maybe someone from the forum (Webmaster ) can be there.

Sounds like a great opportunity, for people who are more experienced with Linux than I am. Even though the sample tasks listed here:
https://group.lpi.org/cgi-bin/publicwiki/view/Examdev/LPIC-3TaskList#Sample_Tasks
are simple basics, I'd be wasting their time and perhaps even take up someone else spot who has a better chance at actually passing. Thanks for sharing though! If someone else goes I'd love to here some feedback about difficulty etc. Entrance and the beta are free. And level 1 and 2 exams are offered at a 50% discount.

That sounds really cool, I've been wondering when the LPIC-3 was going to be moving forward. I'd been worried that maybe the idea had been dropped by LPI, since the level 1 exam came about in 2001, the level 2 came out around 2002, and then the level 3 remained in "coming soon" status. I guess they were just waiting to see if people were interested in the certs, before taking the time to develop new exams.

From the looks of it, they've taken a good direction. I like the idea of getting general Linux knowledge first, then being able to choose specifics, like Samba, LDAP, or possibly things like LAMP, the inner-workings of the kernel, or clustering. Keep us posted, lordy.

NEWSFLASH

I have just received another invitation from LPI for BETA exams at the LinuxWorldExpo in Cologne in Mid November.

I'm currently trying to make things happen to be there but unfortunately this is not yet sure. I really hope I can make it so I can give you some feedback on this.

As I have never taken a BETA exam before: Do I get certified if I pass the BETA or do I just get a shake hands and a "thank you for paticipating ?"
