Certification: Exploring the New LPI 101 Exam
Last month, I introduced the changes that the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) has implemented to their Level One exams. To become certified at this level, you must pass two exams (101 and 102). The new versions, known as Release 2, are now the only ones available, and the original versions are retired completely (except in Japanese).
December 2002 Examining the New LPI Level One Exams
The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is one of a few vendors offering certification in vendor-neutral Linux. The grand scheme of their plan is to
offer certification at three levels, with each level requiring the passage of two exams (and higher level certifications require certification at all lower
levels). Since the release of the Level Two exams (Level Three is still under development) about a year ago, LPI has doubled back and chosen to
revisit and revise their Level One exams.
November 2002 Examining the CIW Security Professional Exam
Over the past three months, I have examined the first three of four exams required for certification as a Master CIW (Certified Internet Webmaster) Administrator.

January 2002 Certification: The Linux+ Sample Test Revisited
When this article was first planned, many months ago, the intent was to spend a paragraph or two discussing the sample Linux+ exam from my last column, and then begin exploring level II certifications as currently proposed by Sair and LPI. That was before a staggering amount of email poured in from around the world and convinced me of the need to revisit the sample exam and discuss it in detail. To say that an enormous amount of email was sent regarding the questions on the exam is a mild understatement. It was a tsunami.
