Novell�s certification program may be poised for an upswing thanks to the addition of several open-source titles and new hands-on testing technology. Here�s your guide to the company's current roster of credentials.

5/10/2005 -- If there is one company that can be credited with popularizing computer certifications back in the �90s, it's Novell. The company's Certified NetWare Engineer (CNE) certification wasn�t quite first on the market, but it was the first that the market couldn�t get enough of. Demand vastly exceeded supply for a number of years, and the momentum behind it brought forth the IT certification world as we know it today. That was well over a decade ago; Novell then jumped the shark, so to speak, when they divided the CNE into CNE 3 and CNE 4. Where do they stand now?
Surprisingly, Novell certifications seem to be poised for a second wave of popularity and esteem. Part of this can be attributed to its use of new technologies to deliver some of its exams in hands-on format, while a huge portion is also attributable to a move toward more open-source solutions and related credentials. This article provides an overview of the many certifications currently available from Novell."
