Training course overview

LPIC-1 is the first professional certification in the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) . It is earned by passing two independent exams, 101 and 102, and demonstrates real-world Linux system administration skills.

This training course specifically prepares you for Exam 102: shell and scripting, desktops and graphical interfaces, routine administration tasks, essential system services, networking fundamentals and security.
