1. Changes to LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 Objectives

LPI alumni and registered LPI candidates will know that LPI regularly revises and updates its certification objectives to ensure technical currency and industry relevance. Minor revisions are undertaken every 2.5 years with major updates happening at the 5 year milestone.

Revisions to our exam objectives for the 2.5 year mark have been completed and are available at http://wiki.lpi.org.

New exams reflecting these changes were originally scheduled for publishing on April 1, 2012 (LPIC-1) and July 1, 2012 (LPIC-2).
However, in order to allow greater time for our candidates, training partners, and courseware publishers to prepare for these changes we will publish these new exams at the following dates--July 2, 2012 (LPIC-1) and August 1, 2012 (LPIC-2).

A comparison description of objective changes made between "old" and "revised" exam objectives will be available as "addenda" on http://wiki.lpi.org
