It kinda depends.... if all we want is certification, it's cheap and easy.
If we want it to *MEAN SOMETHING*, then it'll be harder.
Still, the training courses and testing are two different aspects. I
suspect generating the tests would be fairly easy..... and the
questions on them can be validated in a few hundred test cycles so a
short, valid, test could be administered....
If the certification was in demand, that would spawn training
courses and training books.....
