BSD certification. What is it?
Dear Hobrazhiteli!
On the topic of what BSD-certification is and why it is needed, we offer a small article by our head of the system administrators group, Vladimir Zorin.

BSD certification
In the late seventies of the last century, the first operating systems of the BSD family appeared.
Since then, they have proven their reliability and remarkable stability in their work, have earned recognition, and, today, are used by many large companies around the world. Thousands of projects are built on the BSD family of operating systems - hosting companies, search engines, large web projects with a large load, and so on and so forth.
Naturally, all these projects need system administrators who would be familiar with the specifics of BSD systems. For linux-like systems, there are many certification projects for specialists, but now a similar project has appeared for UNIX BSD.
So, meet - BSD Certification Group (bsdcertification.org) - the organization that created and maintains the standard of certification for specialists in system administration of BSD-systems.
BSD certification is an exam consisting of hundreds of questions related to various aspects of the system administration of the BSD family of operating systems.
Let's try to answer the question "why is this needed?".
First of all, if you successfully pass the certification, you will receive a beautiful certificate with a brilliant seal, and you will become a BSD Associate - that is, a certified BSD system administration specialist, which is pleasant to agree. Moreover, you can realistically assess your knowledge of BSD systems, pay attention to possible gaps in them, or, on the contrary, make sure that you have not read the mountain of manuals and spent sleepless nights remotely setting up servers in Chinese data centers.
In the end, it may turn out that you (like me) spent aimlessly several years of your life, getting a non-core education in journalism, philology or Slavic trends in behaviorism, and your potential employer with some skepticism regards you as a system BSD UNIX Administrator But here you will come to the aid of a shining certificate with a round seal that can dispel the skepticism of any idle doubter.
Of course, a potential employer wants to be sure that the applicant will be a qualified specialist, and will not be numb in a daze at the task of setting up a VPN for OpenBSD, or even earlier, directly when installing the designated system on the server. By hiring a person with a BSD Associate certificate, you can be sure that this may not be the guru of all unix, but he will cope with the basic tasks of system administration of bsd systems.
All for certification, friends!
