Not as yet, but why wait? May be it could be tied into the LPI stuff. We're already a Cisco Acadmey (take newbies through to CCNA by stretching the content over 6 semesters), and there are (but we aren't (-: ) MS Academies in most cities (which presumably do a similar job of making the MCP accessible to the inexperienced - should make the course about 4 hours (-; ). It's an excellent way of introducing generic Linux skills to a wider audience, and help up the skill levels available for those schools/companies interested in taking the Linux route. BTW, the Cisco Academy makes us money through charging small fees for the course, but Cisco don't give us any money, just make the materials available online and a forum to ask questions in which is usuallly populated with one or two knowledgeable Cisco staff. So the costs to SuSE would be minimal - just keep the academies supplied with latest product copies and that's it. -----Original Message----- From: Roger Whittaker To: Chris Puttick Cc: 'suse-linux-uk-schools@suse.com' Sent: 2/6/03 11:05 AM Subject: Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] FW: [school-discuss] Red Hat Linux to certify schoolkids I don't know how Red Hat's scheme will work in practice: is it available in the UK?
