A person with BSc in something will maybe not bother putting the leaving
cert on the CV, while a person who has not gone to college would use the
next best thing - their leaving cert results.
I think the Linux ECDL will be similar - it's an introduction to
computing with Linux. Yes, I'd be embarassed to have it on my own CV as
well, but then - I would be embarassed to apply for a job that required it.
A person that required the ECDL for their job would most likely not be
in the computing world - secretary, or the like, maybe - and so would
not bother with our own opinions of the "worth" of it. To them, it's
proof that they have a fundamental skill in something.
