Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Local Internet Registry (LIR) Fundamentals exam. This exam allows participants to demonstrate their capability in managing Internet number resources, covering essential skills such as requesting, distributing, registering, sponsoring, and transferring resources. Badge holders will also be equipped to effectively seek support and participate actively within the Internet ecosystem. The LIR Fundamentals badge is awarded after successfully passing the LIR Fundamentals Analyst Exam, conducted entirely online. The exam comprises 30 questions, and a minimum passing score of 70% is required. The exam is available on-demand, allowing you to conveniently earn a verifiable digital badge. Prepare for the exam using the free online course offered by the RIPE NCC Academy.
