__FORCETOC__
==Background==

The [[LPIC-3]] programme, and the 301 (Core) and 302 (Mixed Environments)
exams, are now at/past their five (5) year age and there has been repeated
sentiments from the field to update and redress some issues now that we
have had some experience with LPIC-3.

The main issues presented have been that:

* The 301 Core exam is an impediment to candidates wishing to achieve the 303 (Security) and 304 (HA/Virtualization) credentials.
* With the pending mainstream release of Samba 4, the services covered by the OpenLDAP (301 exam) and Samba (302 exam) will have significant overlap.
* It is time to update the 301/302 exam objectives.
* Capacity Planning is better tested in LPIC-2 as it is core to all service scaling.
* Other technologies that cover the problem domain of the 301 and 302 exams exist and are maturing.

==Proposed Changes==

===Exam Content Refactoring===

The main points of this refactoring are:

* Move Capacity Planning and OpenLDAP server essentials (not everything) to LPIC-2
* Merge remaining 301/302 topics into a 300 exam
* Add Samba4, Kerberos, FreeIPA to the 300 exam

Further additions to be considered are OAuth2, OpenID and FreeRADIUS coverage.

Also, pending changes will be addressed which are listed [[LPIC-2_Objectives#Future_Change_Considerations|here]].

The new LPI-300 exam will be 2 hours in length and 80 items.

===Certification Requirements===

With the refactoring of content for the LPIC-2 and LPI-300 exam, there will no longer be a requirement for obtaining an LPIC-3 certification beyond the individual level 3 exam. For example, in order to get the LPIC-3 Security certification a candidate would require an ACTIVE LPIC-2 certification and the LPI-303 exam.

==Major Milestones==

* Commence reassessment of LPIC-2 objectives as described above with a target release of Spring 2013 for new exams.
* Publication of the new LPI-300 exam (based on new objectives) will be available in the Summer of 2012
* Existing LPI-301 and LPI-302 exams will be available until the end of 2013
* Existing holders of LPIC-3 certification (or the LPI-302 "speciality") will continue to have their certifications remain "active" as per LPI's recertification policy (#6 in [http://www.lpi.org/linux-certifications/policies policies]).

==Programme Roadmap==

This following image represents the roadmap for certification with the new LPI-300 exam.

==Further Discussion==

Further technical discussion on this project will be initiated, encouraged and responded to on the [http://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev lpi-examdev mailing list].
