About Course
About Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 Training (LPI)
Delhi's data engineering is public infrastructure work. Government departments build citizen data systems that must stay available under load and hold records under audit, policy teams assemble datasets for scheme monitoring and welfare delivery, and large digital public platforms operate ingestion at national scale. Defence and aerospace contractors run their own data environments with security and clearance constraints, and development agencies build reporting layers over programme data.
A candidate here is hired to work inside a public institution, so the standards are different. Data has to be traceable to a source document, access is decided by rule rather than request, and a system cannot go down on a working day. Procurement cycles are long, which means candidates with documentation and estimation skills are more useful than candidates with only a deployment story.
This Delhi page carries the same 12-week, 72-hour Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 Training (LPI) syllabus, faculty and assessment as the master programme, delivered live online and in hybrid format, with classroom batches at our Thoraipakkam centre.
Course Overview
12-week LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 training (72 hours) on the shell, filesystems, systemd, networking, security, package management, services and exam practice.
Why Learn Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 Training (LPI)
Public data work here is judged on provenance, so a candidate who can show a lineage trail for a published figure is trusted with sensitive estates.
Scheme monitoring needs district-level data joined across departments that were never designed to talk, which is exactly where an integration engineer is needed.
Defence contractors in the region work in isolated environments, and candidates who have handled that constraint carry an advantage into every secure role.

Who Should Join This Course
- Desktop and Windows Support Engineers — Moving onto Linux administration with a vendor-neutral credential
- Fresh Graduate Trainees — Entering infrastructure work through a globally recognised Linux track
- Cloud Support and Hosting Teams — Handling Linux hosts the vendor does not document for you
- Developers Who Deploy Their Own Services — Troubleshooting the machine that runs their pipeline
- Storage and Platform Teams — Managing filesystems, volumes and quotas on shared hosts
- Existing Linux Admins Adding Credentials — Turning years of ad hoc work into a dated, verifiable qualification
Prerequisites
You need a working Linux shell. LPIC-1 is an exam about what you can do in a terminal without a mouse, so the labs assume a booted Linux host, root access and the willingness to read the manual when a command behaves unexpectedly.
Learning Objectives
- Move through a filesystem without a mouse, using find, grep and pipes
- Create users and groups and set a permission model that actually holds
- Mount ext4 and XFS filesystems and manage space with logical volumes
- Write and schedule shell scripts with the tools a cron job depends on
- Manage services and boot targets with systemd and read its journal
- Configure name resolution and the basic network services on a host
- Harden a host with key-based SSH, updates and a recorded audit trail
- Sit the 101, 102, 201 and 202 exams, each 60 questions in 90 minutes
Certification Objectives Covered
The syllabus follows the published LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 objectives: Linux Administration, Bash and Shell Scripting, systemd, ext4 and XFS, Logical Volume Management, BIND and Apache, and the objective-to-topic map for the 101, 102, 201 and 202 exams, the timed practice papers and the exam-day plan.
Career Opportunities After This Programme

Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: You are handed a server with complaints: the disk fills every month, a nightly report stopped running, and a colleague cannot log in after an access change. You configure the host, create the users and permission model, deploy the report as a service with a timer, write a backup script and a health report, then break the machine three ways and repair each fault from first principles, finishing with a timed practice paper across the four exams.
Production scenario: A shared host is running three services for four teams, the disk is at ninety percent, and a team lead wants group write access to a directory to speed up their work. Decide what you check first, what access you actually grant, and how you free space without deleting data someone still needs.
Course Duration, Mode and Certification
The course runs for 12 weeks (72 hours), three sessions a week of two hours each. Modes: Classroom / Live Online / Hybrid. Certificate issued: SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate. This programme prepares you for the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 exam, which is booked and paid for with the vendor separately from the course fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 course cover?
The LPI professional track has two levels and four exams. LPIC-1, the Linux Administrator level, is 101-500 on architecture, installation and package management, the command line, devices and filesystems, plus 102-500 on shells and scripting, system administration, essential services, networking and security. LPIC-2, the Linux Engineer level, is 201-450 and 202-450 on advanced administration, the kernel, storage, networking, security and services. Each exam is 60 questions in 90 minutes and the credential lasts five years.
How is this different from the SRE course?
The SRE course teaches a practice: service level objectives, error budgets, incident command, observability and toil reduction. This course teaches a product and its operating system: the Linux kernel, the shell, filesystems, systemd, networking and security, measured against the published LPI objectives. The overlap is the on-call work, but the assessment is entirely different, and no vendor distribution or paid tooling is involved.
Do I need Linux experience before I start?
You need to be comfortable in a terminal, because LPIC-1 is an exam about what you can do without a mouse. The labs assume a booted Linux host and root access, and every objective is practised on the command line. If you have only ever used a desktop, spend a week with the shell before the first session and the course will meet you comfortably.
Can I take LPIC-2 before I have passed LPIC-1?
The exams may be sat in any order, but LPI will only award the LPIC-2 certification once an active LPIC-1 certification is in place. The course therefore teaches LPIC-1 first, then LPIC-2, and the people who pass all four papers in one sitting usually sit 101 and 102 before the advanced level. The credential is recognised worldwide because it is vendor-neutral.
Which distribution is used in the labs?
Debian and Ubuntu for the LPIC-1 sessions, with a CentOS Stream and a SUSE host added when the course reaches the LPIC-2 material on packaging and services. The point of the switch is not preference but portability: the exam expects you to know that a service is enabled with a systemd command, and that the package manager differs while the concepts do not.
What is the duration and fee?
Twelve weeks, three sessions a week of two hours each, totalling 72 hours, with every objective practised on a live host in the session. Fees run from Rs 45,000 to Rs 75,000 depending on batch and mode, with classroom, live online and hybrid options and placement support through 200+ hiring partners. The LPI exam vouchers are separate and paid directly to the institute, not to us.
What certificate do I receive?
A SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate for the full 72 hours of the programme, listing the modules completed and the host you built, broke and repaired. The LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 credentials are issued by the Linux Professional Institute after you pass each exam. We prepare you for the exams and assess your lab work; we do not issue the vendor credential.
Is classroom training available in Delhi?
No. SkilBrill's classroom runs only in Chennai. Learners in Delhi join the same live online / hybrid cohort taught by the Chennai faculty, with proctored labs and the same placement support.
Which companies hire for these skills in Delhi?
Learners in Delhi typically target a mix of MNCs and startups such as HCL, TCS, IBM. The programme's placement support applies equally to Delhi learners.
