最佳的Linux考試標準
LPI相信需要壹個標準化的、多國的、令人信服的考試來驗證個人在Linux上技能的等級。同時，這個考試必須有利於公司雇用Linux方面專業人才。為了實現這壹目的，Linux專家機構(LPI)聯合多方力量設計和完善了LPI認證考試。Linux專家機構(LPI)通過全球的發展使之成為壹個倍受公認和廣泛認可的Linux認證考試體系。
用戶應該可以自由選擇，在認證Linux 最高級工程師這壹關鍵領域不應固定於壹個廠商。只有當認證標準是開放的和獨立的，由沒有偏見的專家來鑒定和決定時，市場才會得到最好的服務。
Linux專家機構(LPI)基於以下幾點發展LPI認證考試，以使全球業界認可LPI認證考試是目前最佳的Linux考試。
壹、適當性，LPI認證考試針對不同工作所需的Linux技能有不同層次的考試，這些是基於對數以百計的相關方面資深人員調查而得出的。
