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?
Regards,
It doesn't seem like my responses are being received
by the list. Please let me know if you receive this.
I like the idea of a recertification option that considers
experience, CEUs, publishing, etc. but I wonder what the
metrics would be in determining pass/fail. Who evaluates
the value of the experience, participation in mailing
lists, and publication of articles, etc?
