Hi all,
as pointed out in Essen, in a (I hope quick) future there will be the 
change to some people to give official QGIS certificates.
These people should be authorized by the "core team" and the 
certification money will go to QGIS.

So, for example, I'm authorized and I made a course by myself with my 
company to 10 people. 3 of them are interested to have an official QGIS 
certification, they pay something and that's all, right?

In the Internet I found this website:

https://www.coursera.org/

it offers courses for free with scheduled homeworks, tutorials, videos, 
data, etc...
So I can join the class for free, attend the lessons and do all the 
quizzes and assignments. But, if I want a "Coursera" certification that 
proves that I attended successfully the course I have to pay for this 
certification (around 50 bucks).

Do you think that this method can also fit for QGIS? I mean, maybe a 
section in the website (or somewhere else) where you can do a course and 
earn an official certificate?

Suggestions are welcome!!

Cheers

Matteo
