    Support for the National roll out of LPI trainings

    Dear all,

    We have now completed the first LPI ToT in Nairobi last year in November where we had about 12 new certified LPI trainers in East Africa. Several others managed to pass one exam and they will resit the exam again so that they can become fully certified.

    Which certification do you need?

    The ict@innovation programme is currently looking into different options for organizing trainings that lead to an internationally recognized FOSS certification.

    This could be done at different levels:
    * desktop certification (like Open ICDL, Open Office ..)
    * system admin certification (like LPI, or vendor-certifications like RedHat, Ubuntu ..)
    * specific application related certifications (like PHP, MySQL ...)

    We are interested to learn about your needs.
    1. From a market perspective: What skills are most in demand from the client side?
