LCP

LCP Certification stands for Linux Certified Professional Certification and represents a benchmark to employers that the holder has reached a high level of knowledge of the Linux operating system. Linux is a free operating system based on the kernel (the core or nucleus of an operating system) that was created by Linus Torvalds with the help from developers from around the world. This operating system is widely known to be very stabile and versatile. Its popularity has grown as many global companies have adopted it as a cost-saving measure. Because Linux is becoming more popular, IT professionals and managers will need to have the necessary knowledge and skills to support the Linux operating system.

The LCP certification allows you to bone up on the many different aspects of Linux, and prove to any potential employer that you could step into a Linux-run company computer network and do your job effectively. These certifications are very valuable because of the fierce competition for quality IT jobs. Without these certifications, employers would have no real way to evaluate the differences of quality and ability among varying job applicants. Earning your LCP certification is just one step in a process to build your IT resume. You probably will need more certifications and/or college courses to qualify you for some of the best-paying IT jobs. The good part about this process is that the more IT knowledge you have, the easier subsequent classes and certifications become, because you can use prior knowledge to learn new applications and computer languages.
