Certification LPIC-2 : Linux Engineer

LPIC-2 : Linux Engineer extends LPI's professional pathway into advanced Linux administration. It covers areas such as network services, storage and system maintenance in mixed environments. This level calls for understanding the relationships between components, since a problem seen in an application may originate in a service, a network setting or a system resource.

Relevant preparation uses scenarios that require investigation, comparison of possible causes and documentation of a solution. It suits administrators who want to expand their responsibilities beyond basic operations. Understanding technical dependencies helps them anticipate the effects of a change and organise appropriate checks. LPI requires an active LPIC-1 certification to award LPIC-2, together with successful completion of the relevant examinations. A suitable programme should therefore reflect existing skills, the official objectives and sufficient time for practice rather than treating advanced administration as a collection of isolated commands.
