A more precise is answer is that your 201 is still valid. You will have to take the new 202 exam (after apr 1st, of course, you can always do 202 early) to complete your certification. The old 202 exam will not be available after apr 1st.

LPI has more than 220 approved training partners in 35 countries around the globe. "Over the past few years we have continued to evolve our training partner program resulting in a substantial increase in the number of countries where we have representation--this demonstrates both the growing adoption of Open Source Software and the need world-wide for vendor-neutral Linux training," said Jim Lacey, President and CEO of LPI. Mr. Lacey noted that due to this demand and increasing requests from employers, educational institutions and exam candidates for high quality training options LPI is adding new improvements and resources to the training partner program throughout 2009. In the last six months alone LPI has added multiple training partners in the following nations: Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong, Italy, Korea, Netherlands, Philippines, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom. Mr. Lacey credited this diverse group of new partners to an increasing emphasis within LPI on regional execution: "Our global program of affiliates has enabled us to engage with on-the-ground players who understand the needs of the local market and can identify which training partners are best suited to promote Linux professionalism and certification," said Mr. Lacey, adding that this was further demonstrated by the increasing interest of post-secondary education institutions such as colleges and universities in a variety of local markets throughout the globe. "LPI's certification program fits very well within the scope of academic training programs and provides substantial value for students in these programs who will be pursuing IT careers," said Mr. Lacey. For more information on the benefits of becoming an LPI training partner please contact your local LPI Master Affiliate or Area Operations Manager: http://www.lpi.org/affiliates Additional information on the LPI's training partner program can be found at: http://www.lpi.org/training The Linux Professional Institute is globally supported by the IT industry, enterprise customers, community professionals, government entities and the educational community. LPI's certification program is supported by an affiliate network spanning five continents and is distributed worldwide in multiple languages in more than 7,000 testing locations. Since 1999, LPI has delivered more than 195,000 exams and 62,000 LPIC certifications around the world. About the Linux Professional Institute: The Linux Professional Institute promotes and certifies essential skills on Linux and Open Source technologies through the global delivery of comprehensive, top-quality, vendor-independent exams. Established as an international non-profit organization in 1999 by the Linux community, the Linux Professional Institute continues to demonstrate recognized global leadership in the certification of Linux professionals.

I end up spending a lot of time on this topic when delivering courses, as it usually comes up at some point. Students are terribly concerned about the exam - overly concerned IMNSHO - so I try to allay their fears as best I can, and take this route: They paid to be in the room and learn something useful work skills, not to learn how to pass an exam, and it's my job to get them on this road to learning useful skills. It's safe to assume that the LPI exams cover a representative selection of skills a Linux sysadmin needs (the exam development process is built to produce this very result), so I want them to realize that a. they must get to a place where they know what they are doing, b. they will then be able to pass any reasonable examination of their skills, c. a quick scan of the exam objectives every now and will confirm that the course is still on track and that the trainer's idea of what is important still aligns with the general LPI community consensus. If a student doesn't pass an exam, the topic(s) that scored low show the student what area they are weak in, so they need to refresh and restudy *that entire section* as they obviously do not know it well enough to withstand a reasonable examination of their skills. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com From ichaudhry at gmail.com Wed Dec 10 14:05:34 2008 From: ichaudhry at gmail.com (Imran Chaudhry) Date: Wed Dec 10 14:05:36 2008 Subject: [lpi-discuss] LPI peeps - please clarify status of "old style" 201/202 after April 2009 Message-ID: <542391be0812101105h55604889k9abef85c8b28e79f@mail.gmail.com> > A more precise is answer is that your 201 is still valid.

Sorry, but what makes you say this? I thought Scott was quite clear but I prompted him about this last week and still await his answer. I'm a little worried because for me there may be a chance that I will not attempt the 202 "old style" exam before April 2009. Scott appeared to say I would be able to take the "old style" 202 after April 2009. As he is a high-up in the LPI (his sig and @lpi.org) I took his answer to be authoritative. Please someone from LPI clear this up.
