* A certification is the process through which a company, usually a supplier, in this case in the field of technology, formally acknowledges, guarantees and evaluates the combination of knowledge and skills possessed by a person in regard to a proprietary or generic technology

The most usual form of certification is issued by suppliers. Thus, for example, Microsoft, Cisco, Novell, Oracle and others guarantee knowledge in regard to their products and technologies. Another mode, which is increasingly gaining prestige, is that of the independent entity which endorses generic knowledge on specific areas. In this last case we have as examples: the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) or the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA)
