Hi, It looks like Microsoft is finishing their python certification program: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/98-381 .
I like the idea and would love to see both certification and training materials done by the community. I would gladly help with the implementation, provided that whatever we do we will publish on the open licences (e.g. Open Source the code, and/or use Creative Commons for the material).
