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 have been working with Linux for years and wanted a certification to prove I am conversant with the skill. I studied for LPI1 which helped me pass the essential. I would highly recommend this certification.
Michael Afolabi
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.

This is the first Linux Certification I have completed. I found the time invested in this qualification is already paying itself off. The LPIC-1 study guide seems to be a good place to start for the beginner. By downloading a Linux Distribution and getting hands on practice is truly valuable. Reading the book is one thing following it through with a Linux build is another and then finally doing the exam and practising what you learned. I will continue to follow the LPIC path.

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.
David HendrySenior Lecturer / ICT Academy DirectorGlasgow Caledonian University
Would I recommend LPI? Absolutely! Linux is now the by far the most ubiquitous operating system on the planet, from the international space station, the internet and on desktop computers, Linux is everywhere. Why would you NOT want to learn Linux. For me the LPI Linux Essentials exam was the perfect tool, it gave me a great point of focus, and booking the exam gave me a target to work towards, as well as the motivation to achieve a pass. The exam objectives took me on journey from understanding …
James Hazelwood
Having worked hard and studied for some time I successfully completed my LPIC 3 cert, it is one of the top certs I have and it confirms to end clients that I have a deep understanding and complete end to end view of any Linux environment. The goal for any professional Linux specialist should be the LPIC 3 cert, I know from personal experience that it will not only benefit you professionally but also financially as end clients pay a premium for top rated quals and professionals who attain them.
Thomas CarrollCheif Infrastructure ArchitectAFDR
I would recommend the LPI certification, as I was looking for some Linux course to give me a good basis in Linux, LPI certification seem to fit well. I also used the certification as a goal to keep me motivated, so now when I meet others who have completed LPI, Certification, have an appreciation of their skills.
Brian Kavanagh - Senior systems Test Engineer - EMC
Linux Essentials – Great starting point for entry into using Linux.
Owen Murr
I am pleased to commend the LPIC 1 certification as an essential starting point for any professional on a Linux based career path. At the UK Open University we have been pleased to link our introductory Linux academic module to the LPIC 1 as this has offered our students potential career enhancement.
Andrew SmithLecturer in NetworkingThe Open University
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.
