Holy Mackerel! For that same amount of money, you can get Training for Solaris 8 for System Administration I & II. And that includes the fee for the two exams! Though granted that the above deal is not avail. in the Philippines, it would still be costly. > Anyone think this is a fair deal? 35k pesos is a lot to pay for one > certification, but I'll be spending a bit more than that working for my > OCP -- although staggered because the OCP is 5 exams @ $125 each, and I'm > eligible for discounts as an Oracle Technet member. Fair deal? No. For that amount of money, I would get the SUN Certification which has far good value than the Redhat Certification. You really want Linux certification? Then use brainbench. HR People and others know about BrainBench. And what if RedHat goes Bankrupt? What's the use of the RHAT cert. by then? It's really best if your cert. is Linux Distro neutral rather than focus on RedHat. > Granted the RHCE is probably the BEST Linux certification out there, and > it carries a large amount of industry recognition.
