LOPSA folks, $WORK has decided to load me up with education... that is, they want to pay for and support me through some certifications. I've already got a Unix System Administration cert, based on classwork at the extension center of the local state university, but they'd like to get me through something a bit more industry-recognized.
Currently, the LPIC-1 is on the table, as well as Security+, and there's a possibility to go toward a CISSP later on. In general I'm skeptical of CompTIA certs like Security+, but that's partly because I've got an A+ from about 6 years ago that felt like a waste of time. A few questions: 1) Are the LPIC certs getting more industry recognition? They seem to be good, but they were last updated in 2009. 2) How does the LPIC series compare to the Red Hat certs, in terms of skill coverage and industry acceptance? 3) Does anybody know anything about the specialized LPIC Level 3 "senior" certs? In particular, the Security-focused one (LPIC-303)? It seems their higher-level stuff hasn't been updated for several years, either, and that advanced stuff seems likely to get out-of-date more quickly. Thanks for any help you can provide! -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical. ~ Niels Bohr _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
