Education Vs. Training (Score 1)

The thing that strikes me the most about a lot of these comments is the use of the term TRAINING when in fact what we are talking about is EDUCATION. I'm not sure but my guess is that Linuxgruven would train you on what they want you to do WHEN you become an employee and they would do it at their expense. However, I believe what we are talking about is EDUCATION expenses that someone might incur in order to get a job with them or anyone else. I don't see to many people lining up to pay off my education expenses. These are expenses I incurred to secure a degree ( a nationally recognized certificate not much of a difference between that and a certification) It does not seem that Linuxgruven is asking anything different than what happens all over the country. The student pays for their own education to get the knowledge to get hired. The company will train for the specific task that they will be doing once they are hired. All they seem to be asking for is that a person have a Linux Certification BEFORE being considered for hire. Do you know how many jobs require degrees or certifications before hire? Ten's of Thousands maybe hundreds of thousands. The only difference is that Linuxgruven seems to provide this training as an option. But it does not seem to be a requirement for employment. However, from reading the comments and the articles, it does seem that they guarantee some people employment if they do get certified using their educational classes or not and that they will pay you back the expenses for your education after one year of employment. I only wish this had been offered to me, I would not now be working to pay off a HUGE debt. (And I had no job guarantee either, I was on my own)
