Linux - Professional Certification
Certification organizations for Linux
- - LPI,

Certification outside of Linux may be useful and/or necessary
- - SAGE sets standards for system administrators across platforms.
- - Microsoft, Cisco, Netware, Oracle and others have their own certification programs
- - CompTIA provides vendor-neutral certification in a range of IT skill-sets, including A+, network+, i-net+, server+, and soon Linux+)
(tests range from $132 ti $190)Test Preparation
- - Hands-on experience is the best preparation
- - Formal training and test-preparation is widely available
- - Books, CDs, tapes are available for self-training

Some other considerations:
- Requirements can change and certification needs to be renewed periodically
- Certification in other areas is a good idea.
