Teaching Methodology

Trainers should teach the course by covering the latest detailed objectives for LPIC-1 as given by LPI.

Cover objectives using slides, additional reference materials and excercises, making sure that trainees understand and are able to perform the objectives and commands. Strongly discourage participants from trying to spot questions by downloading online tests. The objective is to teach thorough understanding of the objectives expected of a junior level system administrator, not a boot camp for certification. 

The materials needed to teach each objectives are provided on this site. The time required to teach 101 and 102 is dependent on the skill level of participants. As a guide, participants already familar with Linux, networking and basic programming - 5 days each for LPI 101 and 102 respectively is enough. While those without basics and no Linux experience may need more than a month just for LPI 101 objectives alone.

Preparation
