CRN | 2004 Certification Study

CRN | 2004 Certification Study Last August the CRN magazine published a study concerning certification, importance of certain certifications and how they relate towards job advancement and skills.

An important result from their study is that vendor-neutral certifications are gaining in importance. It seems that as more shops pick up on open-source systems they need people who are qualified in Linux without being qualified in a specific type of Linux. The Linux+ and LPI exams fill this need.

This is one trend which needs to be watched over the course of the next couple of years to see how far it develops.
