The Surprising Strength of Vulnerability – how can tech companies attract women employees?

Posted on 25th November 2016 by Rebecca Hunt

At Future Cert, one of our mission statements is to attract more women to careers in Linux or Open Source in general. The lack of women in the industry (read, serious lack) is not confined to Open Source, it goes across the tech industry. A few months ago an article caught our eye on LinkedIn,[…]

I studied LPI as I wanted to further my knowledge in Linux. The OS, our company’s platform is ran on, is CentOS. I was to be technical support, but had very little Linux experience. I took the LPI course to further my skills and knowledge and ultimately give myself a better position in my work. The company I work for is Davra Networks. We are provide a platform that allows customers to define, build and bring IoT (Internet of Things) applications. The benefits of having the LPI certification h…

LPIC 1 – gain good, all-round, foundational Linux skills and get recognised for it.

I can highly recommend LPIC 1 as a great entry level qualification into the world of Linux. Although I had extensive knowledge before going through the course I still learned on ways to improve my workflow and it introduced me to some concepts I didn’t think of doing before. LPIC 1 is the ideal qualification for an entry level Linux Administrator or even the Experienced Administrator looking to refresh their skill set and update their knowledge. I am definitely looking to progress to LPIC 2 & 3.…

To my mind LPI is the best Linux Certification path. Truly distribution agnostic with real content that can be applied in all situations. Anyone with this has the knowledge to delve into and understand any Linux system. A truly useful technical qualification.To my mind LPI is the best Linux Certification path.

Linux Essentials – Great starting point for entry into using Linux.

I can definitely recommend LPIC exam because it helped me re-iterate Linux basics and discover new commands and possibilities. Thanks to LPIC, I’m more effective at my work and I feel more confident working with command line. Now I consider taking LPIC-2 exam as well.

I work for BT Security. I wanted a Linux certification to show that I know Linux, However, whilst studying for the LPIC-1 I found out a new thing or two! Secondly, I work with many devices such as Juniper and Checkpoint Firewalls, Proxies, Splunk etc that typically use Linux as their background OS. They usually are slightly different to each other but I found the LPIC covers most variations. Especially the various methods of carrying out service control or adding user accounts. So overall I was …

I have worked with and taught Linux for over eight years, the majority of my work has been with Debian, Redhat and SUSE in that order. It is so important to have broad base of knowledge. The LPIC certifications tick all of the boxes. I used the LPIC1 & 2 books whilst training my competitor for WorldSkills 2013, he gained the highest point score the UK has achieved in the history of the IT Network Systems Administration competition.

The ubiquitous use of Linux in the world today on all types of devices has placed a demand on educational institutes to embed Linux / Open Source into their academic programmes. Schools use Raspberry PIs to teach computing and here at GCU Linux and Open Source tools are an important skill taught to students in a range of undergraduate courses, for example our undergraduate security programmes which prepare them for industry. We are extremely pleased to now partner LPI.

Great course, really helped me get a better handle on Linux. I will be progressing through the others.
