LinuxIT, the UK's largest Linux company providing independent systems integration and professional services, today announced that it has become the second LPI Approved Training Partner in the UK.
LinuxIT provides more LPI certifications than any other training centre in the UK, and is continuously striving to provide the Linux user community with expert professional training and support. Becoming an LPI Approved Training Partner confirms LinuxIT's continued commitment to delivering quality independent training, and differentiates the company from other suppliers through a higher commitment to the LPI as an independent Linux certification provider.
Cliff Brereton, OpenPower Sales Manager at IBM, said: "Since IBM has launched the OpenPower series working with 64bit Linux, we see a growing acceptance of Linux in business critical application areas. At IBM, we understand that to maintain the momentum of that growth, professional Linux training and distribution independent certifications have to be available to the market. As an IBM Business Partner Leader for Linux, LinuxIT has made significant contributions in that area in recent years. The new LATP status is a quality assurance mark for training courses delivered by LinuxIT, and IBM recognizes the benefits that this will bring to our Linux Business."
Adrian Thomasset, Training Manager at LinuxIT, added: "At LinuxIT, we are passionate about the provision of high quality independent Linux training to our customers. The LATP accreditation reassures our trainees that they will receive the training and certifications they need to succeed in the Linux market, irrespective of what Linux distribution they will encounter."
LinuxIT will continue to provide a learning programme with the merit, neutrality, and objective measures of the LPI certification programme to the Linux community. As an LPI Approved Training Partner, LinuxIT is committed to using LPI approved training materials, LPI certified instructors and exams, and is required to adhere to a stringent Code of Ethics.
