what kind of hourly wage could i expect with a A+ certification?

Q. I plan on taking it this summer and was wondering where could i work and what kind of pay i would receive. I plan on taking my linux certification this winter any idea what that pays?

A. Really dont expect much. A+ is the basics of basics. Depending on your area and where you apply, you will probably start a few dollars ($2-4) over minimum wage, if you have no job experience. Linux certifications are only meaningful if the place you are apply has any Linux machines in the first place. Most of the business world runs Windows, and then if at all, they run Linux for task specific jobs, which are basically set and forget.

Linux certification - Which is the best study guide?
Q. Hello,

I want to update my skills and resume with Linux Certification. I am comfortable with windows but have little experience with unix (mostly adding users). Can anyone recommend any books aimed at passing the Linux certification test. Also which version is covered on the test VS which is the most popular used in businessess.

Thanks for the help.

A. The test is fairly generic. O'Reilly publishes not all but most of the best books on the topic. RHEL Certified Engineer is actually the best certification to have but if you are going for Linux Certified Engineer then it really doesn't matter -- it's a pretty generic test. I WOULD go for the Red Hat certification if I were you, and study hard for it. They recommend taking courses and I undersstand why.

What's the best route to take for networking/repair?
Q. I'm just starting out in my trek to obtain a job in something dealing with networking and/or repair. I am thinking about certifications like the CCNA, MCSE, A+, and Linux certifications. I would prefer not to do degree work if possible. I'm not exactly looking for an extremely high-paying job: I'm fine with something on the lower strata perhaps making $15-$20/hr. Where should I go first?

A. CCNA is better than A+,

A+ is entry level stuff that basically says you know what a computer is, how it shoudl work. It's a bit of a joke, Getting CCNA will show you have the knowledge of A+

what are my chances to become a Linux System Administrator at 48?

Q. I am trying to change career(unemployed) and I am a newbie in technology except that I did some html & CSS. I wonder if I study Linux for a year & maybe pass a linux+ certification I will be able to get an entry level position? Is it too old at 48 to try? Or maybe should I focus on something like PHP/Mysql? I am trying to decide what would be the easy road and the rewarding one as well. Thanks.

A. With RHCE, you are never too old.

Is Linux System Administration worth trying in my case?

What's the most respectable Linux System Administration Certification?

Q. Hi,
Planning to get a Linux certification as a System Administrator, but unsure which one is preferred and most useful to employers....any idea?

A. Hi

LPIC is not that much respected certification.

If you want to be a System Administrator, start with RHCSA , RHCE as those are respectable.

If you manage to complete it, than you can opt for RHCSS or further certification, but for those RHCE is the must.

Q. Comp TIA A+ technician
Comp TIA Network +

Microsoft certification at the product level (MCTS- Microsoft certified technology specialist)

Can you get a good paying job to live well with these certificates?
I live in the Bay area in CA, so everything is really expensive, is this a good job to have in that area?

A. Throw in a BS in Computer Science and you should be able to get a very well paying job.

I installed Fedora 13 for a class, how do I get back to vista?
Q. I followed instructions in our book Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification 3rd edition in project 2. Please help I really don't know what's going on. Step by step instructions would be nice. Thanks.

A. If you did not allow the option for resizing the Windows drive and creating its' own partitons in the free space this creates during install, you have lost Vista. If you had ot would offer you the option to boot from Vista each time you start up. You would now need to re-install it from the original OS disk. You will need to use the advanced option to delete all partitions and create one new one to load on. All your data is gone.

Where can I study a comptia linux+ certification in Toronto or surrounding area ?
Q. I can`t find any place to study this certification in Toronto. Ideally I liked to get a instructor. Any idea`s...

A. I took an instructor led course for my A+ certification and to be honest i learned more from the books. A good exam study will also help to make sure you pass the exam the first time. Good luck.

Does MCA fresher with linux certification start out as technical support?

Q. I am doing MCA and plan to complete Red Hat Linux certification (RHCE) and CCNA. After completing my MCA will I have to start out as technical support engineer/service engineer/desktop engineer? Isn't there a chance that I will languish in these roles as these aren't high profile roles.

A. Certs are great, but experience is what really impresses an interviewer. If you have very little or no work experience, you are likely to start out in some sort of support role.

This actually makes sense for the employer. Why would they let you make design decisions before you've proven yourself? It's especially important to them, considering you aren't familiar with their network.

Don't worry about it, though. If you're eager to learn and willing to take on responsibility, you will be noticed. Bosses do pay attention to who does what, although they also have to balance the personality of their team members. If the new young hot-shot gets promoted within a week of joining the company, or is hired into a very cherry position, it could easily anger the rest of the team that has been there for years. For that reason, sometimes the new hire is forced to spend some time in a more junior role. This lets the team see what he's capable of.

Q. I'm just starting out in my trek to obtain a job in something dealing with networking and/or repair. I am thinking about certifications like the CCNA, MCSE, A+, and Linux certifications. I would prefer not to do degree work if possible. I'm not exactly looking for an extremely high-paying job: I'm fine with something on the lower strata perhaps making $15-$20/hr. Where should I go first?

A. CCNA is better than A+,

A+ is entry level stuff that basically says you know what a computer is, how it shoudl work. It's a bit of a joke, Getting CCNA will show you have the knowledge of A+

Are these certifications good to have for a high paying job?
Q. Comp TIA A+ technician
Comp TIA Network +
Comp TIA Linux +
Microsoft certification at the product level (MCTS- Microsoft certified technology specialist)

Can you get a good paying job to live well with these certificates?
I live in the Bay area in CA, so everything is really expensive, is this a good job to have in that area?

A. Throw in a BS in Computer Science and you should be able to get a very well paying job.

what are the most recognized and appreciated certifications in the IT field?
Q. Im not interested by unix/linux certifications....if they even exist!

A. will find out from my son after easter.

Is Linux System Administration worth trying in my case?

Q. I am trying to change career(unemployed) and I am a newbie in technology except that I did some html & CSS. I wonder if I study Linux for a year & maybe pass a linux+ certification I will be able to get an entry level position? Is it too old at 48 to try? Or maybe should I focus on something like PHP/Mysql? I am trying to decide what would be the easy road and the rewarding one as well. Thanks.

A. Try RHCE, Age wont be a problem.

what kind of hourly wage could i expect with a A+ certification?
Q. I plan on taking it this summer and was wondering where could i work and what kind of pay i would receive. I plan on taking my linux certification this winter any idea what that pays?

A. Really dont expect much. A+ is the basics of basics. Depending on your area and where you apply, you will probably start a few dollars ($2-4) over minimum wage, if you have no job experience. Linux certifications are only meaningful if the place you are apply has any Linux machines in the first place. Most of the business world runs Windows, and then if at all, they run Linux for task specific jobs, which are basically set and forget.

I installed Fedora 13 for a class, how do I get back to vista?
Q. I followed instructions in our book Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification 3rd edition in project 2. Please help I really don't know what's going on. Step by step instructions would be nice. Thanks.

A. If you did not allow the option for resizing the Windows drive and creating its' own partitons in the free space this creates during install, you have lost Vista. If you had ot would offer you the option to boot from Vista each time you start up. You would now need to re-install it from the original OS disk. You will need to use the advanced option to delete all partitions and create one new one to load on. All your data is gone.

How can I get enough experience for my Linux + certification?

Q. I've been worrying about this for a while. I've been studying what I need to know to get my Linux + certification, and in order to take the cert exam I need to have 6-12 months of Linux network administration, but I don't know who would hire an uncertified network administrator.
Any ideas?

A. You don't need any experience to take the exam, at least not from CompTIA, I took it straight out of college and had only started using Linux.

The *+ exams are actually only certifying that you have the knowledge of being an administrator for 6months to 1 year.

What's the most respectable Linux System Administration Certification?
Q. Hi,
Planning to get a Linux certification as a System Administrator, but unsure which one is preferred and most useful to employers....any idea?

A. Hi

LPIC is not that much respected certification.

If you want to be a System Administrator, start with RHCSA , RHCE as those are respectable.

If you manage to complete it, than you can opt for RHCSS or further certification, but for those RHCE is the must.

what are my chances to become a Linux System Administrator at 48?

A. With RHCE, you are never too old.

Linux certification - Which is the best study guide?

Q. Hello,

I want to update my skills and resume with Linux Certification. I am comfortable with windows but have little experience with unix (mostly adding users). Can anyone recommend any books aimed at passing the Linux certification test. Also which version is covered on the test VS which is the most popular used in businessess.

Thanks for the help.

A. The test is fairly generic. O'Reilly publishes not all but most of the best books on the topic. RHEL Certified Engineer is actually the best certification to have but if you are going for Linux Certified Engineer then it really doesn't matter -- it's a pretty generic test. I WOULD go for the Red Hat certification if I were you, and study hard for it. They recommend taking courses and I undersstand why.
