It is funny how many corporations make certification and courses through themselves. The same with the Raspberry Pi Foundation; you can call yourself a R-Pi Educator officially without taking their courses and getting their certification. So as expensive as it will be, I signed up for it to price them out and see what I can do about paying for it.
I would recommend anyone who is interested and need to prove their worth to sign up for it. A certificate, no matter how stupid it may be, carries a lot of weight. Sign up here for information:
