"Our introductory course in Linux has proven to be very popular with adult learners and a substantial value-added has been their ability to pursue an industry recognized Linux certification following the completion of this online learning module. This benefit is greatly enhanced when one considers that in achieving their CompTIA Linux+ powered by LPI certification they will also be able to obtain first their LPIC-1 and than their Novell Certified Linux Administrator certification. As an educator who wants the best opportunity for employment for my students, I can't help but applaud LPI on their leadership in promoting this industry cooperation in Linux certification," said Andrew Smith, Linux Course Chair, Open University UK.

The LPIC-1 certification program for Linux professionals has been accepted as a nationally recognized IT accreditation for college students at secondary schools and technical colleges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Scotland.

We need more of this.

I think it likely a qualified Linux Administrator will never be out of work.

Thinks *Maybe I should start a course*

Brush up on your Mintines and you could do Introduction to Linux courses at £50 a pop. Bet it would go down a storm in the smoke.
