[lug] Evening LPIC-1 Prep Class

[Andrew Gilmore]

David,

How are you scheduling the LPI exams? I'd be interested in taking the
exams, but probably don't need the class time, as I've been using
Unix/Linux for 17+ years now.

Thanks!
Andrew

> What are the details for this course?
>
> Our very own David Willson will be leading these sessions. There are no
> prerequisites in order to take the first course, however those with very
> little Linux experience must be prepared to study and practice outside of
> class hours in order to gain the knowledge needed to pass the exams.
> Learners must be committed to attending a four hour session one night a
> week for eight weeks per course. Each four hour session contains about 2
> hours of lecture, followed by about 2 hours of lab. The value of these
> courses if taken outside of DLX can be approximately $1600…or more! The
> cost of the required course book is $200 per class and Datalogix will cover
> this cost for DLX employees. Classes will be held here in the Datalogix
> offices and participants must also bring a laptop.

> What can this course provide for me?
>
> Linux is a critical component of the DLX infrastructure and the industry
> in general, thus the stronger your Linux skills, the more value you can
> bring to DLX and your career. This first course prepares students to take
> the 101 and 102 exams toward the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) level 1
> certification. It covers fundamental Linux skills such as file management
> and manipulation, text processing, command line use, package management,
> file systems, hardware, and more. Learners are encourage to take and pass
> the certification exams, so that you can be recognized for your
> accomplishment, however the exam is not a part or prerequisite of the
> class. Unfortunately due to the technical nature of these courses, we will
> not be able to offer remotely via WebEx.
