Program
The exams cover a range of different Linux based topics. The exams are available in almost every country in the world, and are translated into a number of different languages.
The exams are primarily multiple choice questions, with some written answers. These are either taken using a computer based system, or using a paper based exam.
The organisation encourages active community participation in creating and updating exams. Anyone can use the exam Objectives Development wiki, or the Exam Development Mailing List to participate in the creation of new exams and the update of the existing ones.
The exams are distribution-neutral, requiring a general knowledge of Linux rather than specifics about a certain distribution. This is shown in the way that the exams deal with the differing package management formats .deb and .rpm. In earlier versions of the test one of these was chosen by the candidate; in the current version the candidate is expected to know both formats.
