<div>Good Morning,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Blender can be used in many different ways.</div>
<div>I just submitted proposal for an educational music video game 01 to a U.S. government agency with a mostly a "virtual team" anchored with a university group of 3 faculty members, including one "game design" instructor. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now he and I need to learn how to use Blender to create </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your proposal for "certificate" is a great idea but I like to see "certification" tied to specific functions, for example, "Dance Animation". </div>
<div> </div>
<div>My guess is most Blender users don't know how to do dance animation, an important skill to strengthen heritage music and other entertainment type music.</div>

<div><br>Can you discuss how to make "Blender Certification" Functional by this issue as example, "Dance Animation" so that more people are skilled at such an area that I think will be high demand if more Blender users were skilled at such a topic ?</div>

<div>
<div><br>Hello everyone!<br><br>Time ago we discuss about a blender user certification on this list, and sadly we do not reach any result. Since then, has been growing interest in the subject by blender students, schools, and training centers.<br>
<br>I would like to bring back the topic and see if we can work together on that:<br><br>Ton suggests not to put the efforts on the certification itself, but on the creation of standardized tests (like "Basic modeling") and offer this to schools and colleges to certify students with.<br>
<br>He suggest to: "you can name it very smart in a way people perceive it as official, but the certificate would still be officiallly issued by the school itself. It is what Adobe does for photoshop for example."<br>
<br>Who are interested? :)<br><br>--<br>Octavio A. Méndez Sánchez<br></div></div><a href="mailto:octavio@g-blender.org" target="_blank">octavio@g-blender.org</a><mailto:<a href="mailto:octavio@g-blender.org" target="_blank">octavio@g-blender.org</a>><br>
