Linux Academy Certification
I’ve taken a little pause from some of the courses because lately I’m concentrating on the mainframe. However I still think there is much valuable information there. I do feel a little conflicted sometimes trying to prove I understand a topic by getting a Certificate of Completion. For example concerning the LPI Linux Essentials Certification. …
