Savoir-faire Linux has been integrated in the LPI (Linux Professional Institute) Network.

Savoir-faire Linux has been integrated in the LPI (Linux Professional Institute) Network and is proud to offer LPI trainings in Montreal, Quebec and Gatineau.

Savoir-faire Linux, as a member of the LPI network, offers Linux
trainings based on adapted top-quality and easy-to-access standards
matching the high requirements of LPI certification programs:

  • skills independent from organization.
  • skills recognized by the Linux community
  • skills accepted and respected by the industry
  • skills independent from the Linux distribution

As a Linux training reference, Savoir-faire Linux joins the LPI to set
up a standardized and recognized program to certify high-level of
individual Linux expertise and enable you to make the difference.

LPI develops its certification program around these values, which we believe make it the best certification available:

  • Relevance: LPI certifies for the technical skills required for a well-defined type of job. This is based on a survey among hundreds of experienced professionals working in a relevant function, defining the tasks and skills they actually need for their job.

  • Quality: The LPI certification exams go through an extensive validation process, following psychometric standards. This checks their consistency and the power of the test items to discriminate between competent and not-yet-competent individuals, and sets the pass|fail cut score at an optimal value.

  • Neutrality: LPI is a non-profit organization involved only with setting standards for professional certification. It is independent of vendors of Linux distributions, training, etc. For LPI, certification is not a marketing tool to push product.

  • Supported: LPI serves Linux professionals and the organizations that contract them. We have attracted wide support from stakeholders in the Linux world, as shown by our Advisory Council and sponsors.
