LPI Applauds UN Organization Report

(Sacramento, CA, USA: November 29, 2012) The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organization (http://www.lpi.org), applauds the release of the flagship report "The Information Economy Report 2012: The Software Industry and Developing Countries" by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The report provides specific recommendations on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for national policy makers and includes two examples of the value of LPI's training and certification programs for ICT development.

Per discussion with LPI APAC, we're planning to hold regular LPI Exam Labs (paper-based exams) every April and September (during the annual Youth for IT Congress). We're also looking into the possibility of holding also in Southern (Davao) or Central Philippines (Cebu). So visit the IOSN ASEAN+3 website regularly for updates.

Update 2.0 (09-09-2012): LPI APAC will be bringing extra exam packs, so walk in examinees will be accepted on a first come first serve basis while the number of exam lasts. Please come atleast 30 minutes before the exam or 8am if your taking LPI 101, 201, 301 (8:30am-10am slot) or 10am if your taking LPI 102, 202, 30x (10:30am to 12nn slot).

Update 1.0 (08-21-2012): LPI Paper-based Certification Exam during the 10th Y4IT Sept 2012

The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) and the International Open Source Network (IOSN) ASEAN +3 in cooperation with the UP IT Development Center (UP ITDC, formerly UP ITTC) will be holding LPI Paper-Based Certification Exams on Sept 12, 2012 at the UP ITDC, 2/F Vidal A. Tan Hall, Quirino Ave. cor. Velasquez St., University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, both for Level 1 (LPI 101 & 102) and Level 2 (LPI 201 & 202) LPI Certifications. Level 3 Certification Exam will be included if there are takers.

This exam event is being held as part of the 10th Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology also known as Y4IT.

Since this will be a paper-based exam, the exam cost will be much lower than the usual cost of taking computer-based or online exams. This is to give opportunities for those who can not afford the high cost of computer-based exams.
