A new benefit for CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI candidates is that they may choose, at the time they take the exams, to have their exam record forwarded to the Linux Professional Institute. Certification in CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI enables candidates to become certified in LPIC-1 as well, enabling further participation in the LPI program if the candidate chooses. Please note that CompTIA maintains candidate-confidential records for all exam takers, for their own access and use for employment or educational purposes. Any choice to forward an exam record to LPI is made only by the candidate.

I was going to go after it on my own after I finished Net+ and Sec+ this coming month. Looks like that will be out of the question now.

So slick, its in a computer! Oh! So they WILL still have the Cert, the format is retiring, I got it. So if you take the CURRENT Linux+ before it retires, it's still a viable cert, and will be lifetime, but I assume it won't be applicable to the LPI Certification? So it wouldn't get you anywhere to do that, correct? It's in anyone's best interest to pursue the new two-part exam.

Paperlantern wrote: » Oh yeah, always happy with Mint. As far as the Cert, yeah, Linux+ was always on the horizon for me. I committed to N+ and Sec+ for October, and I actually think N+ will be had this month. But with Sec+ on the table for Oct I don't think I will get Linux+ before October is over anyway. I was just disappointed when I THOUGHT Linux+ was no longer going to be a Cert that would be offered. Now that I understand its just changing formats I'm happy, and will definitely do the new format when it comes time for Linux+.

krauser wrote: » No, you won't get the L+. The book will help, because L+ has the same objectives as the LPIC-1.
