If you need a cert just to get a cert, and Linux is appropriate, I think Red Hat has an offering that would probably be considered "industry standard". -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Erik Norgaard Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 11:08 AM To: Martin McCormick Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: UNIX System Certification Programs On Fri, 21 Oct 2005, Martin McCormick wrote: > As part of the formalization process for our carreer paths, our > organization is wanting us to be certified in our areas of expertise > as part of any on-going carreer path.

For linux you will probably find distribution specific certification programs such as Red Hat Certisfied Whatever. For BSD there are currently two initatives under way, bsdcertification.org and bsdcertification.com > Please tell me any thoughts you might have.

It is well known that there is a vast number of paper certificates, proveable experience is worth more than some unknown certificate. When companies like certificates it's because they can tell their clients that their employees are certisfied to do the job. But for inhouse tasks experience is worth far more.
