The Minimally Qualified Candidate for This Exam
This is a description of a Linux professional that is just barely qualified to pass the LPI Level 3 Linux exams. This hypothetical person is called the Minimally Qualified Candidate (MQC). Standards on the Level 3 exams should be set so that this person (and anyone more able) would pass but anyone less able would not pass.
An LPI certified Level 3 Linux professional (designated LPIC-3) should have the technical capability to perform system administration at the enterprise level. A LPIC-3 certification holder should be able to understand, plan roll-outs, install, configure, maintain and troubleshoot the technologies being tested. These technologies differ for each exam but the level of ability is at an enterprise level.
The LPIC-3 MQC typically (Yes, some of these bullets are specific to particular exams in the LPIC-3 series):
- Has installed and maintained Linux on a number of computers for various purposes for a number of years.
- Has integration experience with diverse technologies and operating systems.
- Has professional experience as, or training for, an enterprise level Linux professional. (Including having experience as a part of another role.)
- Is comfortable with advanced and enterprise levels of Linux administration including installation, management, security, troubleshooting and maintenance.
- Is able to use opensource tools to measure capacity planning and troubleshooting resource problems.
- Is able create scripts in Bash or Perl or has knowledge of at least one system programming language (such as C).
- Is able to plan, architecture, design, build and implement a full environment using E-mail and Messaging services as well as measure the capacity planning and security of the services.
