[Bf-education] Organizing / suporting education

[Jason van Gumster]

I'd like to add that, IMHO, it would be a mistake if any such exam were solely
a multiple-choice, regurgitated response type of affair. Because of the very
nature of the type of work that Blender is used for, a practical element to the
exam is critical. Certification should not simply be about knowing things, it
should also applying that knowledge.

For that reason, I would highly recommend that the exam be split into two
parts: one part question-based and one part practical.
