This move is towards getting into enterprise market.

The Ubuntu Certified Professional is a training certification based on the LPI level 1 certification. To earn the Ubuntu Professional certification, candidates are required to pass the LPI 101, LPI 102 and the Ubuntu (LPI 199) exams. Exams can be written in any order. A candidate already holding a valid LPI level 1 certification will only be required to pass the Ubuntu exam.

The certification is designed for System Administrator levels and tests the candidate's ability to:

=> Install and configure a workstation (including X) and connect it to a LAN, or a stand-alone PC via modem to the Internet.
=> Work with the Linux command line etc
