The Linux Professional Institute’s entry and mid level certifications will get makeovers in July (1) and August (2), respectively. So says a recent Emmett Dulaney article “LPIC-1, LPIC-2 Exams Get a Refresh” over at CertCities.com. In particular, newer protocols, features and utilities will come in, and older stuff will go. Here’s a summary of what’s new and interesting for each credential:

LPIC-1 Logo from LPI.org

LPIC-1
Basic understanding (feature knowledge) for IPv6 and LVM
Basic understanding (feature knowledge) for systemd and Upstart
Explicit coverage for basic configuration of GRUB 2
Explicit knowledge of rhte ext4 file system
No more LILO coverage

LPIC-2 logo from LPI.org

LPIC-2
Basic understanding (feature knowledge) for encrypted file systems
Basic understanding (feature knowledge) for xfsdump and xfsrestore commands
Explicit knowledge of IPv6 protocols, services, and configuration
Explicit knowledge of the ext4 filesystem
Explicit knowledge of the Linux 3.0 kernel

No changes for the senior-level LPI-3 certification, however. To get new detailed objectives and information, check out the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certification pages at the LPI’s Website, but also the LPI Wiki pages for LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 as well (that’s where you’ll find the most detailed objectives listings, and addenda to clarify what new material is being added, and what old material is being removed).
