My point was just that such certifications should be clearly labeled as
being company created. If you look at the Pearson site where SRA's
tests were offered, they were listed as "PostgreSQL CE (SRA OSS)
Certification Testing". That was fine.

2ndQuadrant will issue certificates for students who successfully
complete the workshop exercise challenges in our training classes. But
we are very careful to call them 2ndQuadrant PostgreSQL Certificates.
