In all honesty, I don't know if I can agree with the general concept of 
tutorials for LPIC-3

These exams to my reading are to certify and validate someone's 
knowledge at a rather advanced level - almost "expert"

Does the concept of "tutorials" for an advanced exam ring huge alarm 
bells in your heads like it does in mine? I consider that someone who 
desires a study guide for an expert exam is in no position to be 
remotely close to writing the exam. Such a person does not need a study 
guide, they need another three years behind the keyboard gaining real 
world experience.

It all seems so ... pointless, and demeaning to the class and quality of 
person the exam is pitched at.
