LPI list members, Many of you are probably aware that we (LPI) have been keeping in touch with the folks over at SAGE (http://www.usenix.org/sage/) as they work on a generic certification for UNIX system administrators. They would now like our help with their job-task analysis survey. Since we distributed a request for help on their lists when we did our JTA survey (back in April), I'm forwarding the message below and asking you all to please help them out with their survey. The data will be useful to SAGE but will also be interesting for us as we continue the further development of the LPI program. Please do forward the message below on to other mailing lists where you feel it appropriate. Thank you, Dan ********************************************** Subject: System Administrators Certification Survey SAGE, The System Administrators Guild, is pleased to announce the System Administrators Occupational Analysis Survey. This is an ambitious step toward a certification program created strictly by and for System Administrators. This program will allow us to set our own industry standards and educational curricula in a vendor neutral environment. Survey data from a cross section of practicing system administrators is critical in evaluating the various technologies and expertise levels that exist in the market today. We seek input on the tasks and responsibilities that comprise a system administrator's position as well as the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform them well. Certification of system administration professionals is not only inevitable, it is a reality. SAGE has taken the lead in this industry-wide effort and you can participate by simply completing the survey. Your participation is critical for future educational information and certification. Log onto http://www.usenix.org/sage/cert/survey to complete the survey and make yourself heard. The number and diversity of system administrator responses greatly impacts the value of the survey data. Please help us reach as many system administrators as possible by forwarding this announcement to colleagues who may not have seen it. Your participation is greatly appreciated! ********************************************** ________________________________________________________________________ This message was sent by the linux-cert mailing list.
