Novell Launching Linux Cert, Offers Free to CNEs
4/30/2003 -- Novell Networks recently announced it will be launching a Linux-focused certification as part of a new initiative to further integrate its technologies in the open source movement.
Details about the new Novell Certified Linux Engineer (Novell CLE) title have yet to be published on Novell's Web site; however, a spokesperson for Novell provided CertCities.com with an information sheet that details some aspects of the title, which is scheduled to debut by the end of the year at Pearson Vue testing centers worldwide.
Novell says the CLE will be a "high-level" practicum exam featuring a virtual, hands-on testing environment, much like the company's Certified Directory Engineer (CDE) practicum. Topics include knowledge of Novell products for Linux as well as general networking and troubleshooting issues.
There are no prerequisites for the title, although Novell recommends that candidates have hands-on Linux experience and achieve the Linux Professional Institute's Level 1 Certification (LPIC 1) before sitting the exam.
The recommended training course for the title, Novell Services for Linux (3105), will be available in November 2003 in both instructor-led and self-study format, Novell said.
A free voucher for the CLE will be given to all NetWare 6 Certified Novell Engineers (CNEs) who achieve their titles before October 31, 2003. More information on applying for the voucher will be posted on the CNE benefits section of the Novell in May 2003.
More information on the title should be posted on Novell's Web site shortly.  -B.N.

how about the guy with only a cert or two who knows more than the guy with a 4 year degree in CIS but can't get a job because everyone is brainwashed into thinking a degree is everything? |

An experienced certified guy losing to an inexperienced bachelor degree holder? WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! You must have just awakened from a long sleep, but at least you're awake and aware now! |

Let's face it guys. Anyone who thinks certs are worhtless doesn't have one. Anyone who thinks a 4 year degree is worthless doesn't have one. Anyone who thinks experience isn't vital doesn't have any...is the pattern starting to emerge? The fact is you neeed it all...experience, education, certifications...and if you have only one and can't get the others, then you haven't paid your dues. |

Yeah, the pattern emerging is your bad logic. |

First of all, I think what is needed in today's market is a degree (2 or 4 year), certs, some internships (or on the job training as we used to call it), and a little luck. After a while, once you amass enough experience, a degree or a pile of certs don't mean a whole hell of a lot, due to the fact that if your work exp. has been progressive, a person can look at your resume and see the responsibility that you have been given over the years. The end game for most tech. types is to become either a DBA, system administrator, etc. The move into management will definately require a degree, unless your job has you doing those things without a degree (rare, but it happens) |
