The Linux Certification Self Study On-line Course 
In January 2007, a partnership was created between Millard Fillmore College (MFC) at The State University of New York at Buffalo and Just-in-Time Resources of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The purpose of this partnership is to bring together the expertise of an industry-leading Linux training provider with the resources of a comprehensive public research university dedicated to excellence in continuing and professional studies to provide the highest quality, most comprehensive Linux self-study material ever produced. Our goal is to create a world-class learning collaborative that provides IT professionals with the best possible learning experience and preparation leading to first level certification, content retention and subject competency.
LPIC-1 Certification
The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), is considered to be the industry standard for excellence in Linux skills and knowledge for IT professionals. They administer the LPI first level certification exam (LPIC-1). Passing this exam certifies the competency of IT professionals using the Linux operating system and its associated tools. It is designed to be distribution neutral, following the Linux Standard Base and other relevant standards and conventions. Additional information about LPI certification requirements and the Linux Professional Institute can be found at: http://www.lpi.org
