The Linux Professional Institute and Pearson VUE offer promotional programme for academic organisations in Europe
The Linux Professional Institute (LPI), the world's premier Linux certification organisation, and Pearson VUE, the leader in computer-based testing, have announced a special promotional programme in select European countries for LPI Approved Academic Partners (LPI-AAP).
Under the new initiative LPI-AAPs will be able to purchase
discounted vouchers for their students who are expected to take
LPI's certification exams. The programme will initially be offered
in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, the UK, Ireland and Spain, with other nations in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa expected to join the
scheme.
John Meaney, LPI Area Operations Manager for Europe, the Middle
East and Africa, said:
"We welcome this initiative from Pearson VUE and share its
interest in making our certification programme more accessible to
aspiring Linux professionals involved in formal education
programmes. This will allow LPI academic partners to bundle the
cost of training and our certification exams as an affordable
option for students."
Suzana Lopes, Pearson VUE, VP EMEA Sales and Marketing,
added:
"This exciting initiative demonstrates our ability to work
with clients to offer specific promotions for their exams. We are
delighted to help LPI academic partners offer a training and
testing experience with added value."
