I repeat (as I said in yesterday's previous email), such a certification
already exists. It's available on-line, has no prerequisites other than
a web browser, and is available for a low certification fee for
everyone. It is in no way tied to our training offering; anyone can
purchase a certification account and take the test at any time.

We have that infrastructure in place.
