What are the benefits of certification?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main point of distinction between LPI and other Linux certification programs is that LPI certification exams are entirely vendor-independent and also distribution neutral.

Why do you use written tests?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LPI prefers written exams as these exams are accepted as standardized exams globally.
