| Linux Professional Institute to host events at LinuxWorld |
Jul. 13, 2007
For the third consecutive year, the Linux Professional Institute will provide discounted certification testing during LinuxWorld Conference & Expo in San Francisco, Aug. 6 through 9, 2007, at the Moscone Center. Toronto-based LPI is the official certification sponsor of LWCE, offering a standardized, multi-national program to certify professional expertise in Linux.
Paid conference delegates will be able to take the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 exams free as part of their conference fee (a $150 value per exam); those attending the trade show will be able to take the exams at a discounted fee of $75 per exam.
The LPI exam lab will be offered each day at 1 p.m. (Room 236, Moscone Center North). All candidates must pre-register at the LPI Web site to obtain an LPI ID number. Exam candidates must bring valid photo identification and their LPI ID number to the exam lab.
The Ubuntu Certified Professional exam will also be available to all conference and trade show attendees at $75 -- a 50 percent discount.
