“CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association, has
announced that it will add a Linux certification to its existing
suite of vendor-neutral certification programs.”
“CompTIA is a global leader in the development of standards for
the converging computing and communications market, with existing
A+, Network+, Certified Document Imaging Architech and i-Net+
certifications.”
“The industry asked CompTIA to develop Linux+ based on our
tremendous record of success in certification development,” said
John Venator, president and CEO of CompTIA. “Sair Linux, Inc. was
the first company to make the commitment to join CompTIA in the
development of Linux+. Partnering with the Linux Professional
Institute (LPI) and Sair, CompTIA will bring Caldera and other
major industry vendors and customers together to create a globally
accepted benchmark certification for Linux. Growth rates are being
fueled by ASPs and ISPs which are using it as a cost-effective web
server/application server platform. We expect Linux+ to be the
entry point for a number of higher level Linux certification
programs.”
