Hi all,
I've mailed a couple of times with this person; at first I thought they
wanted to advertise "system administration certification", but he
confirmed his .org is specialized in setting up certification programs,
and he's very willing to assist;

We could definitely assist as we've spent the last year researching the
available resources and costs. Probably a good place to start is by
your group of educators drafting a list of questions or perhaps a list
of their
goals. This would give us a starting base to see if our goals are
complementary and if we could be of assistance to each other.

Anyone interested to follow up? Developing an official "Blender Trainer
Certification" was on our long old wishlist...
