CompTIA Partners with Linux Professional Institute for new Linux+

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

The new Linux+ certification is available from CompTIA and it comes with some never before available extras. CompTIA has partnered with the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) to offer IT professionals a dual certification. Individuals who pass CompTIA’s Linux+ exam will earn the CompTIA Linux+ certification as well as Linux Professional Institue’s LPIC-1 certification.

CompTIA is enthusiastic about the new partnership, stating that the new Linux+ “will provide new opportunities for both organizations and go a long way toward building a global workforce of skilled IT professionals knowledgeable about all facets of Linux.” The new partnership should expand the reach of the LPIC certification and add to the acceptance of the CompTIA certification. More importantly, a stronger Linux+ certification should ultimately provide a more substantial credential for IT professionals who specialize in open source Linux technology.

A member of PrepLogic’s sales team recently spoke to John Gilliland, a Network Operations specialist from Cumming, Georgia who took part in PrepLogic’s “IT Career Starter Pack plus Free Laptop” promotion.

When we asked what he liked about the training, he said “my favorite part about the PrepLogic IT Career Starter Pack was the whole thing!” He mentioned that our training experts are “knowledgable and easy-to-follow” and that he would “recommend PrepLogic to get the training you need to take your A+, Network+, CCNA and more.”
