Linux Today links to a CertCities article about the abrupt certification change that Novell has made since aquiring SuSE. They’re dropping the SuSE Certified Linux Professional exam completely and replacing it with a Novell Certified Linux Professional certification. This new cert will be based more on simulation than on answering questions, and drops the Linux Professional Institute prerequisite.
The new exam will set you back $195, which isn’t all that bad.
I’m really glad that I decided to go for the Sun Certified Java Programmer cert and not the SuSE cert.
