I'm a little surprised at the $250 minimum for the verified track.<p>While that's a tiny fraction of what one could expect to pay for a typical certification prep class and likely less than a single credit hour at an accredited university it's quite high relative to the norm on edX.<p>I've taken some <i>very</i> good courses on edX, primarily from MIT and Berkley, none of which have required even half as much as a minimum.<p>Still, I intend to give this a look when it launches.

This looks like a good starting point for people from a predominantly Windows background that want to make the jump to Linux. Does anyone know if it is worth doing the Verified Certificate? I would be more than happy to sign up to it if it has any worth in the job market.
