Linux Certification : Why Get Certified ?

Why Does Linux Need Certification?
This subject was dealt in detail by Dan York, LPI Co-founder and its first president, in the first article of a series on Linux certification that he wrote for Linux Gazette. For brevity's sake here's a list of his bullet points (but please consult his article for a more thorough discussion):
* Create industry recognition
* Provide an organizational path for students
* Provide an organizational mechanism for training centers
* Enhance marketing
* Counter the "no-support" argument
* Turn students into advocates
* Provide other means of employment for Linux skilled individuals
* Recruit new Linux users
* Assist in the hiring process
The easiest way to gain corporate, governmental, and institutional support and usage of Linux is to ensure that there is a bona fide support mechanism in place... most of the major stakeholder companies within the Linux community have either put one in place or are in the process of doing so. The next step is to provide a path for Linux professionals to follow so that they will be employable within this framework. In short... it's all about support!
Why Should You Get Certified??
* Establish your competence for well-defined Linux-related functions.
* Easily demonstrate your competence to a potential contractor.
* Certification helps you set out and follow a career path.
* LPI certification is developed from within the Linux community, by your peers, and gives
you the opportunity to help develop the certification standards and exams.
