Exam Preparation
http://lpi.org/exam-preparation/training-materials
The LPI-ATM program was initiated in 2002 to assist courseware providers in developing
accurate training materials that supported LPI certifications.
Since then the number and variety of exam preparation materials has grown substantially and
LPI no longer requires the use of LPI-ATM materials by LPI Approved Training Partners (LPI-
ATP) or LPI-Approved Academic Partners (LPI-AAP).
