The Linux Foundation has announced a new Linux Foundation Certification Program for both early-career and engineer-level systems administrators.
To celebrate the new program, The Linux Foundation is giving away nearly 1,000 free exams today to attendees at LinuxCon and CloudOpen and is offering exams to the next 500 people for a special introductory price of $50. Regular exam price is $300.
The two new designations are the Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) and Linux Foundation Certified Engineer (LFCE). The new certifications mark the first time the Linux Foundation itself has offered formal certification.
The actual testing system is a fully online platform that was built by the Linux Foundation. To prevent cheating, the system requires that the user has an active Webcam running, and the entire evaluation is proctored by a real person at the other end.
