From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ah.
Yes, if they're directly through an Oracle partnership with your job that's legit then.
Your company likely gets this as part of a package that they buy from Oracle. I'd guess that they offer certifications as part of the courses that they teach.
They likely have a partnership with Oracle to buy (some of) the certifications. You're just getting that same deal (free first try, costs money afterwards).
So, if you've already studied for a certification, then it can save you money.
But unless it says otherwise, assume that it is just the test portion. In addition, some certifications require proctoring and that may at your expense. This is probably part of "the necessary info" package, but you can ask a supervisor about the details.
