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:

This will allow LPI academic partners to bundle the cost of training and our certification exams as an affordable option for students."
