For that reason, IT professionals who are comfortable with the Linux command line are in demand across industries. Once you're done with this LPIC-1 training, you'll be more marketable as a systems administrator with intermediate Linux skills.
For anyone who leads a technology team, this Linux training can be used for LPIC-1 exam prep, on-boarding new systems administrators, or even curated for user training.
Note: The exam associated with this certification was retired on October 1, 2019. However, this track still retains value as a training resource.

Who Should Take LPIC-1 Training?
This LPIC-1 training is considered professional-level LPI training, which means it was designed for systems administrators. This LPIC-1 course is designed for new or aspiring IT professionals and systems administrators with three to five years of experience with Linux.
New or aspiring systems administrators. Although there are no prerequisites for LPIC-1 training, new systems administrators would be advised to first begin with LPI Linux Essentials training before tackling this Linux Administrator training. However, newcomers to Linux -- with Windows or Cisco CLI experience -- will find that LPIC-1 training is a good way to transition into Linux administration.
Experienced systems administrators. Sysadmins with two to five years of experience who take LPIC-1: Linux Administrator training will gain a more rigorous understanding of how to administer Linux in an enterprise setting. With the LPIC-1 certification under their belt, they will be ready to pursue the higher-level position as a Linux systems engineer, or even cybersecurity roles.
