What are the options for free certification?

Question

linux

Hello! I would like to know what certificates can be obtained online? LINUX, WINDOWS, CISCO (the latter is most likely mythical).
Personally, I "have nothing to do" was certified as a SPECIALIST in ridiculous courses:
* Setting up PCs and laptops running Windows 7
* Setting up office and home computers
There was also a narrow focus of PRTG CERTIFIED MONITORING PROFESSIONAL for monitoring systems from Paessler. By the way, he came across quite by accident and was surprised that not only is it free, they also send a letter from their homeland with the original certificate.

Answer 1

Even paid certification is for the most part doubtful in terms of usefulness, and free pieces of paper certainly do not cost or mean anything.
Therefore, I recommend not to delve into this topic, or take courses / take exams at the expense of the employer. I have a dozen or three different paid certificates, costing (trying to surrender) from $100 to $650. At my own expense, I would never do this (almost all these pieces of paper are really just pieces of paper), but for someone else's - why not? A kind of exercise to keep the brain in good shape while preparing for the tests - you train your memory and the skill of passing tests.

Answer 2

It seems that the initial courses are free.

Answer 3

nod32. kerio. But by and large ... you need to pay for certification. I understand that we want this from poverty. But the area of ​​certification is additional places for people and earnings. Now and so everywhere they are trying to cram electronics instead of people. You have to respect the opportunity to give them a job. In addition, certification (passing exams followed by a paper blank) and training + passing should be separated. The first is from 200 to 1000 bars. The second is from 1000 to 10000 of the same snow leopards. And it’s definitely not from free certificates that the salary rises.

I respect and support your opinion. in electronic exams, the result is not always objective. For myself, I consider it as a self-test of knowledge
