Exam

In order to achieve the LPIC 1 certification, you will have to pass two exams: 101 and 102. If you are interested in completing the exams LPIC-1 101 and/or LPIC-1 102 directly after the trainig course at the Linuxhotel, we kindly ask you for your registration not later than three weeks previous to the training course, as the Linux Professional Institute will require this preliminary lead time! One exam will cost 145 Euro plus VAT.

Please notify us upon registration whether you would like to take the exam in german or english language. A personal LPI-ID, which you can obtain here will be a prerequisite.

With us, the exam will be administered on paper forms and not with a PC like in VUE und Prometric test centers. Therefore, the evaluation will take several days (and, in some cases even weeks).

At some events, the LPI is offering exams at reduced prices. You will find an overview of the upcoming schedules here.
