"Building upon our successful experience at SUSECon last year, LPI is pleased to be a silver sponsor of this year's event. The global demand for IT professionals with proven skills in Linux and Open Source Software is growing and has even accelerated as these skills are fundamental to the rapidly developing technology environments of Cloud and Big Data. The SUSECon scholarship program enables conference attendees to earn the certifications that demonstrate those skills at no cost while also participating in any number of state-of-the-art educational sessions," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI.

 

Mr.Lacey added that exam candidates that successfully complete both exams (LPI-101 and LPI-102) of the LPIC-1 certification are also automatically eligible to receive their SUSE CLA certification.

"This is the second year that LPI is participating in SUSECon and we are pleased to make their exams available free of charge to registered conference attendees through our SUSECon scholarship program."
