If I do Ubuntu certification, how much can it help me professionally, especially when it comes to applying for jobs?
1 Answer
Note: The current state of any Canonical-provided "Ubuntu Certification" is unknown. Please read the below question/answer in detail for more information:
As this brief syllabus shows, the Ubuntu Certified Professional course was based on the standard Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 certification.
Also known as the "Junior Level Linux Certification", the requirements for UCP/LPIC-1 include:
- Install and configure Ubuntu desktop systems
- Perform routine administration tasks: boot and shut down the system, manage user accounts and file systems, and maintain system security
- Configure network connectivity and key network services
- Work productively at the Linux command line
If you do not possess a certification that includes such a skillset, then yes, the Ubuntu Certification (or LPIC-1) may possibly help you in applying for positions as an entry-level Ubuntu/Linux System Administrator.
Afterwards, you should look at the more advanced LPIC-2 and LPIC-3 certifications to be able to apply to jobs beyond "entry-level".

@GrSr: RHCE is offered currently, but note that you need to be an RHCSA first. It can potentially help you more in enterprises that use RHEL -- which at this time is probably more than those which use Ubuntu Server.– ishAug 5, 2012 at 6:37
