[OSGeo-Edu] Certification

[Ari Jolma]

Hello,

PostgreSQL is announcing a certification project. Maybe it will provide 
us an example.

Regards,

Ari

> Hello!
>
> The PostgreSQL Community is working to create a community driven and 
> endorsed PostgreSQL Certification. This effort is spearheaded by the 
> PostgreSQL Certification Project 
> (http://www.postgresqlcertification.org). The primary focus of the 
> project is the development and support of a series of tiered 
> certifications that provide a standardized method of identifying the 
> knowledge and skills of database professionals working with PostgreSQL.
>
> At this time, the PostgreSQL Certification Project is pleased to 
> announce the availability of a Job Task Analysis survey that will help 
> shape the content and form the initial certifications will take. This 
> survey is publicly available and all are encouraged to participate.
>
> To take the survey, please register at:
>
> http://www.postgresqlcertification.org/jta
>
> The registration process takes just a couple of minutes. Once 
> registration is complete and you are logged in, click JTA in the menu 
> followed by “participate in the survey” 
> (http://www.postgresqlcertification.org/job_task_analysis). The survey 
> takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
>
> We ask everyone to please take the time to complete the survey and to 
> refer an employer, manager, colleague, or anyone else that may rely on 
> a PostgreSQL database in some manner to take it as well. With the help 
> of the community we will be able to reach as wide an audience as 
> possible.
>
> If you are interested in joining the PostgreSQL Certification Project, 
> please visit 
> http://lists.postgresqlcertification.org/mailman/listinfo/cert/ and 
> subscribe to the mailing list after taking the survey.
