Hi Guys,

 

I’m thinking about taking some kind of Linux certification, and I’m wondering if any of you have done this and what views/advice can you give.

 

I’m interested in taking the Ubuntu certification, primarily because that’s the distro I’m most familiar with, yet I’d still class myself as a “beginner” user ( I can install software, work my around the terminal etc etc)

 

I’ve read that you need to take LPI 101, 102, and 199 for this, but I’ve also read that the UCP is somewhat of a gimmick compared to the Red Hat certifications

 

 

Are these qualifications recognised well, i.e. did they help you with new jobs in the past?

 

 

I’d love to hear any advice you can give regarding Linux certifications. I don’t get to use Linux as much as I would like to, so I’m hoping these will provide me with some incentive to “knuckle down” and get on with it :)
