I note that Java, for example, has changed a LOT and a certificate from, say, 10 years ago, wouldn't impress me much today. The same can be said of C#, and of R. So the question would be, "what VALUE would a certificate about R provide?"
Well, for one thing, it would be a certificate of proficiency in the core R programming language and the contents of the 'base' and 'stats' packages. But there is a huge number of packages serving a huge number of needs. If, for example, I needed someone who understood how to exchange data between R and a GIS system like GRASS, how to do spatial analysis with R, and how to produce a report with knitr, that's at least three packages that would NOT be covered by an 'R' certificate. And honestly, if I were in the happy position of being able to hire a data analyst for the region-scale data I have in mind, I wouldn't *care* whether they used R, SciPy, or Julia. So if you want to show potential employers a certificate to persuade them that you know something useful, I suggest that you ask some of them what they would like such a certificate to be *about*. It would not surprise me if they said "how about a degree in statistics, or in data science, or in data visualisation" or something of the sort.
