Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is a nonprofit organization based in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, operating in IT services and IT consulting as a global certification and career-support body for open source professionals. It administers Linux and open source certifications as a vendor-neutral standard, making it the earliest and largest global certifier in this field. Certification holders span more than 180 countries, with exams offered in multiple languages and supported by hundreds of training partners. Its primary customers are open source professionals seeking credentials and career development, alongside organizations that participate in the certification ecosystem through training and partner programs. A notable recent development is the March 2026 launch of the Become a Partner portal, which provides a pathway for organizations to become official LPI Partners.
