VCampus Corporation (OTCBB:VCMP.OB), a leader in certification and
professional development training and services, together with the Linux
Professional Institute (LPI), today announced the launch of the LPI
North America Online Learning Portal. Based on LPI's globally-recognized
certification objectives, this portal is poised to meet growing demand
for sophisticated, professional Linux programmers, consultants and
systems administrators. You can log on to the VCampus LPI Online
Learning Portal at http://www.vcampus.com/lpinama.
Linux currently represents an $18 billion dollar market, and according
to IDC, is slated to grow to $40 billion in less than three years.
Almost 40 percent of corporate IT departments currently use Linux
technologies and open source in key areas. Within the next five years,
open source will have become a fact of life for every technologist.
Employer demand for qualified Linux professionals is strong and growing
rapidly in the corporate market – it is the
most exciting growth area in the IT sector. Although LPI has delivered
over 145,000 exams around the globe, a shortage of talented Linux
professionals persists.
To ensure that true professionals satisfy this demand, VCampus' portal
offers practice exams, online learning, and the option for prepared
candidates to purchase LPI certification exam vouchers. Ross Brunson,
author of the LPIC-I Exam Cram 2 Study Guide, says that LPI's North
American Online Learning Portal shows that Linux has matured and
continues its growth as a major corporate player. “Just
a few years ago, many questioned whether Linux could become mainstream.
Now, if you don't have Linux knowledge, you're not mainstream. Linux is
already where you work – and it'll grow over
100 percent by 2010. The portal makes it possible to get the knowledge
you need to take advantage of that.”
LPI's vendor-neutral certifications have seen major growth over the last
year, with more than 30,000 exams taken last year alone. Jon “maddog”
Hall, President of Linux International, knows why interest has surged. “With
Linux in the server room and the data center, there's an increasing need
for Linux expertise. This program is based on LPI's industry-respected
research, not just one vendor's idea of what's important.”
The launch of the LPI North America Online Learning Portal further
strengthens VCampus’ commitment to empowering
people globally through certification and professional development. “LPI
is a recognized, global community of Linux experts,”
says James Stanger, Chief Certification Architect for VCampus and noted
author on Linux and open source. “Linux is
revolutionizing the IT department, and we're excited to put our
expertise to work in creating and training this specialized,
professional and growing audience.”
