There are many different certifications that a person can get for Linx/UNIX, and I am going to go over two different websites today and the certifications they offer.
New Horizons Computer Learning Centers offers three main certifications. SUSE Linux is the first one, and it teaches how to log onto and navigate a multi-user Linux system. Next there is Novell Certified Linux Professional(CLP) basically teaches the same as SUSE Linux but for professionals. Finally there is CompTIA Linux+ which certifies professionals that have over six months of experience and want to certify there knowledge in different aspects of troubleshooting, installation and more.
CertCities.com offers a wide variety of certifications. Instead of going over what each one is this time I am just going to list them because there are so many:
Linux+, Linux Certified Administrator, Linux Certified Engineer, Linux Professional Institute Certification Level I, Linux Professional Institute Certification Level II, Master Linux Certified Engineer, Red Hat Certified Architect, Red Hat Certified Engineer, and Red Hat Certified Technician.
This may seem like a lot, but it is a small sample of what is out there, and for those willing to take the time to learn it it could open a lot of doors into the business world. I myself am hoping to get a job in the computer industry after I finish school, and having Linux in my studies is going to help. By knowing how to operate Linux there are jobs doing Computer Network and Server Administration. If you work for a company that uses Linux then it pretty much opens up any position in their IT department.
