[Ale-study] LPIC-1 possibilities

[Crawford Rainwater]

Folks:

As noted on the ALE "main" list, Linux ETC is open to doing some training/studying sessions towards the LPIC-1.  As JD also noted, this would not be "for free" since there are costs involved by the means and methods Linux ETC uses.  As noted in the ALE postings, these are as follows:
- LPIC-1 eBook via O'Reilly.
- Linux ETC's LiveUSB key (Knoppix based).
- Online learning environment based off of the text.
- Virtual training environment.
- Mentors/instructors available in a variety of ways depending on the individual/group needs.
- Web conferencing sessions for "group sessions".

The pricing we have for this on an individual basis is $1995 for LPIC-1, with the mentoring being over a one year period (or ~$167/month).  Ideally though, the normal pace of most students, the time frame is actually 2.5-3 months from start to finish for "full completion" of the course.  I will also say that the "self paced with mentoring" is not meant for everyone since it requires a student that can learn on his/her own a bit more so, versus the "classroom model" being the opposite of having "face to face instructor time".

If this is of interest to anyone or a majority of the ALE-Study group, I am open to further discussions on/off list.
