I concur, however, I would strongly suggest in picking an accredited
training source from their Website. I made the mistake of buying a
program from Smart Certify Direct (http://www.smartcertify.com/) Stay
away from them!!!! These people rooked me out of $800 for a learning
program that can *only* be run under Windows, I.E. and Microsoft's own
version of Java. I was lied to by their sales people that this program
would run under *any* Java running platform, under Linux, and that it
had all the same on-line classroom features as their other programs.
It's a really terrible working program, buggy at best. It also makes
very little sense to be learning the most technical aspects of running
Linux in Windows. IMHO. I couldn't even get through it because of its
kludge interface and inability to allow me to bookmark important areas. 

I could go on an on about why they are not the people to do this
through, but with this strong warning comes a whole-hearted
recommendation that your first certification be one that is not
distribution concentric, as Duncan has already stated. Hopefully, you
will see the value of a LPI certification, but through one of LPI's
certified sources.
