CompTIA CompTIA Linux+ Recognized by IBM Oakbrook Terrace, Ill., November 22, 2002 ‑- CompTIA’s Linux+ certification is now recognized by IBM as an entry point for its e-business Solution Technologist certification. Linux+ certification is a recognized elective towards the IBM Certified for e-business Solution Technologist, a certification for technical professionals responsible for implementing e-business solutions. To earn this certification, the candidate must demonstrate skills in understanding and articulating the technical requirements of customer projects, as well as the broader issues surrounding customer e-business needs. According to IBM, candidates who achieve CompTIA’s Linux+ certification demonstrate technical knowledge of computer operating systems and hardware, and are acknowledged to have skills that apply as an elective for the IBM Certified for e-business Solution Technologist. In September 2001, CompTIA launched the Linux+ certification. This certification was created to measure foundational-level knowledge of Linux operating system proficiency and serves as a stepping-stone toward higher-level Linux certification tracks. “Recognizing the value of CompTIA’s vendor-neutral certifications as an entry point to further specialized training, IBM has worked with CompTIA and provided its expertise and ongoing support for CompTIA’s A+, Network+, CDIA (Certified Document Imaging Architech) i-Net+ and now Linux+ certifications,” said Gene Salois, vice president of certification at CompTIA. “CompTIA certifications can validate a candidate’s overall knowledge and skill level and lead to a career in IT,” he said.
