BSD Certification Group releases Certification Program Roadmap
 
 
August 25, 2005 -- The BSD Certification Group announced on Thursday the release of their certification program roadmap. This publication introduces the Group's planned BSD system administrator certifications and the construction of the certification program.
 
"The roadmap grew out of the responses we received to the Task Analysis Survey published in July 2005," said Jim Brown, BSD Certification Group member. "The responses and comments we received in that project helped clarify what the community thought was important about a BSD certification program."
 
The roadmap discusses the target audience and the objectives of the methodology subgroups. It also includes the estimated time frames for the certification program development.
 
The BSD Certification Group has decided that the associate level certification, followed by the professional level certification, will be rolled out in 2006. The associate certification targets those with light to moderate skills in system administration and maps to the Junior SAGE Job Description. The professional level certification is for those with stronger skills in BSD system usage and administration and maps to the Intermediate/Advanced SAGE Job Description.
 
"If you've used BSD for a while, or you have experience in other Unix platforms, the associate certification will likely appeal to you," said Brown. "If you've used BSD for many years and have a strong understanding of your BSD system, the professional certification might be more appealing to you."
 
The test activation goal for the associate level certification is April 5, 2006.
 
"We encourage the entire BSD community to read the roadmap carefully and to contribute their input and expertise towards the tasks that lay ahead," said Dru Lavigne, chair of the BSD Certification Group.
 
The Certification Roadmap is available for download.
