There are currently two LPI certification levels. The first level LPIC-1 is granted after passing both exams LPI 101 and LPI 102. Similarly passing the LPI 201 and LPI 202 exams will grant the second level certification LPIC-2.

There are no pre-requisites for LPI 101 and 102. However the exams for LPIC-2 can only be attempted once LPIC-1 has been obtained.
