LPIC-1 Linux Administrator
Course Code: LP-LPIC1
LPIC-1 is the first certification in LPI’s multi-level Linux professional certification program. The LPIC-1 will validate the candidate's ability to perform maintenance tasks on the command line, install and configure a computer running Linux and configure basic networking. LPIC-1 is designed to reflect current research and validate a candidate's proficiency in real world system administration. The objectives are tied to real-world job skills, which we determine through job task analysis surveying during exam development. Topics such as the Linux command-line tools, software management, hardware configuration, filesystems, the X Window System, the boot process, scripts, security, documentation, administration and networking will be covered in this course.
- Anyone with little or no experience with Linux and who are seeking a fundamental understanding of the Linux operating system
- Anyone wishing to prepare for the LPI 101 and 102 exams
Before attending this course, delegates must have:
- Knowledge about Linux, what it is, and about Linux commands
- Basic computer skills, such as how to use a keyboard and how to work with basic removable medias like Flash Drives.
To become LPIC-1 certified the candidate must be able to:
- Understand the architecture of a Linux system
- Install and maintain a Linux workstation, including X11 and setup it up as a network client
- Work at the Linux command line, including common GNU and Unix commands
- Handle files and access permissions as well as system security
- Perform easy maintenance tasks: help users, add users to a larger system, backup and restore, shutdown and reboot.
This course will prepare delegates to write the LPIC-1 exams 101-500 and 102-500. Successfully passing the above-mentioned exams will result in the attainment of the LPIC-1 Linux Administrator Certification. On successful completion of this course students will receive an attendance certificate.
