Which Sources Have the Highest Evidence Priority?
For current certification facts, we prefer the official Linux Foundation Education and CNCF pages, policies and candidate documentation. Third-party articles can help identify questions or competitor gaps, but they do not override current first-party facts.
Which Certification Facts Change Most Often?
Prices, bundles, eligibility, retakes, validity, prerequisites, software/exam versions and product availability are treated as changeable. Commercial pages show a fact-check date and are designed so key values can be updated from a central fact register.
| Fact type | Minimum review cadence |
|---|---|
| Public promotions and coupon status | Weekly, plus immediate update when a monitored change is detected |
| Prices, bundles and THRIVE-ONE savings | Monthly |
| Exam format, duration, prerequisites, retakes, validity and version references | Quarterly |
| Retirements, launches or official policy changes | Immediate trigger-based review |
How Are Corrections Handled?
If you find a stale or incorrect claim, use the contact form and include the page URL plus the official source if possible. Material corrections should update both the page and the underlying fact register.
How Is Editorial Independence Protected From Affiliate Revenue?
Affiliate revenue is a monetization mechanism, not an evidence source. A product can be commercially linked and still be described as unnecessary for a user whose existing skills make exam-only a better fit.
How Is AI-Assisted Production Governed?
AI tools may assist research organization, drafting, coding and QA. Changeable factual claims are not accepted merely because an AI system produced them; they are checked against appropriate sources before publication.
What Will This Site Not Publish?
Linux Certification Online will not publish exam dumps, leaked questions, fake first-person exam experiences, fabricated coupon codes, unsupported salary guarantees or stale claims presented as current. Named methodologies and affiliate relationships do not override that evidence rule.
- Fake first-hand exam experience.
- Leaked exam questions or dumps.
- Fabricated salary or hiring statistics.
- Unverified pass-rate claims.
- Fake reviews, ratings or testimonials.
- Outdated certifications presented as current products.
