As with all Novell certifications, course work is never required. One need only pass a Novell Practicum (050-689) in order to achieve the certification. The Novell authorized training materials for this certification are designed to introduce students to basic Linux concepts and progress them through the tasks of managing a Linux network environment. The Novell Practicum is a scenario based exam where students apply the knowledge they have learned to solve real-life problems--showing they not only know what to do, but that they can actually do it as well. read more information
