CompTIA - Linux Certification and Education

Computer Technology Industry Association

In the technology world, certification is often viewed as a surefire route to prove you've got the skills for the job. In tech job listings, acronyms such as MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and CNE (Certified Novell Engineer) have become common job requirements. Thanks to the popularity of Linux, the open source operating system, a new crop of certifications is beginning to emerge. The CompTIA Linux+ certification is a new standard of competency for technicians with six-months experience installing, operating and maintaining Linux operating systems. The Linux+ certification validates technical competency and provides a broad awareness of Linux operating systems. Those holding Linux+ certification demonstrate critical knowledge of installation, operation, administration and troubleshooting services. As Linux is embraced by mainstream players in the computing world, certification is viewed as a way for Linux pros to gain credentials and for the operating system itself to gain an even stronger presence in the IT world. Is certification a must for Linux professionals? Not yet. The Linux certification scene is still in its early stages. As these certifications evolve, and as Linux becomes more prevalent, certifications are likely to play an increasingly important role in demonstrating expertise -- or differentiating yourself from those without certifications. Technology schools offer an excellent opportunity, with both online and campus-based programs that provide students with the technology degrees, diploma, and certifications and related skills needed for successful employment in-high-demand fields such as medicine, graphic design and auto repair as well cutting edge IT programs.
