LPIC-1 training material? should I take the exams?

Posted by aetherboi-rar@reddit | linuxadmin | View on Reddit | 7 comments

Hi, lately I've been stumbling onto a Linux environment every once in a while, I'm wondering if tacking the LPIC-1 Cert would help my career, and if so, what should I use to prepare?

I'm currently working as a Network and Cybersecurity Engineer and I'm preparing for some advanced Cybersecurity certs, would a Linux Cert help my carrer?

I'm not new to Linux, but some of the things on the topics list are unknown to me still, so I would need some material to study, what course, book, or anything else did you use?

Thank you ;)

There instructional materials are available in a handful of languages, linked halfway down the page: https://www.lpi.org/our-certifications/lpic-1-overview/

It is! Everything on the exam is covered in their free learning materials. It's meant to be extremely accessible.

Falso, he hecho los loic y a menudo me e encontrado preguntas capciosas y preguntas sobre comandos que no vienen en el manual facilitado por la Linux fundation ya sea por qué los exámenes son antiguos y antes sí venía y ahora no... O lo que sea. Aprobar no solo requiere estudiar la información di no tener rodaje

¿Pero te refieres a los LPIC-1 101 y 102 o a versiones superiores?

Look at Indeed for jobs you want to do. Then call the company and ask if they would hire you if you have this certificate. Some will probably require the Red Hat certificate, but maybe not when you start.

This. Where I work, they require CompTIA Linux+. When I started, it was right before CompTIA switched over to the LPIC 1 + LPIC 2 exams. I forget what it was called back then, but it was a single exam, not two, and it never expires.

Job ads often specify what certs are required. RHCSE, Linux+, or whatever. My work gives people time to get the required cert, so someone coming in with a ReHat cert would have time to convince management that the RH cert is equal-to or better than Linux+, and not have to re-take any exam.
