Hi Dipesh, No, this isn't the case. It wouldn't be fair to expect newly minted LPIC-2 holders to recertify. The new programme structure is taking into account that the bulk of the 301 exams materials isn't germaine to the 303/304 topics. That's why the removal of it from those certification paths and the grandfathering of people with 303/304 but no 301. If anyone still wants LPI-302, they'll still need the 301 exam, though. I view it as similar to the big shuffle of topics from the LPIC-2 to LPIC-1 (and vice versa) 6-ish years ago. We didn't have LPIC-1 holders recertify at that level before continuing on to LPIC-2, either. I think that's a respectful position, too. As professionals, we should be expected to fill in gaps and improve our skills. Of course, take this with a grain of salt...can of worms reopened... Regards, -- G.
