Hi all, I believe most of us(cert takers) will not be interested in re-certification, this is my opinion.
When an employer asks if you are certified, you only have to show them a piece of paper or a link to the cert website, in this case LPI(is this working now?). I've been participating on some selection processes, none of them required any documents to prove I am certified. But I can imagine how embarrassing can be a situation when someone lies about that. I know that this can lead to another discussion: cert takers are not interested only in better jobs, but in knowledge, challenges, other? I think the certification proves you knew the topics at least in a certain period of time(when you did the exam) and you may still holding the knowledge, depending on your current interests, career, etc. This may not be the perfect thinking for a company that wants people getting certified paying for it, but I believe the majority of takers will not agree with re-certifying. Any facts/numbers about IT professionals that are re-certified? Alexandre GCUX, RHCE, LPIC-2 On 30 Apr 2007 17:21:04 -0400, G. Matthew Rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Currently the recertification policy requires passing a higher level certification or re-passing your current certification. With LPIC-3 being the pinnacle for this certification programme, I'm suggesting that a "professional" recertification policy should be consider as an alternative option to retaking of the exams. NOTE: Candidates would still have the option of just retaking the exams. This professional recertification policy would be similar to the policies employed by other neutral (non-vendor controlled) licensing and certification bodies such as professional engineering groups, the (ISC)2 (creators of the CISSP certification programme) and the PMI (Project Management Institute and creators of the PMP certification programme). Typically, these programmes look at professional experience, continuing education credits and community participation (writing, participation in applicable mailing lists, mentoring, etc) as a basis for renewing the candidates certification. In the case of the CISSP and PMP certifications, this is done on a 3 year cycle and has a cost of XXX ($125/renewal, I think). Any opinions on this concept?
