Hi all,

We, Software Research Associates, Inc., have started "PostgreSQL CE"
(PostgreSQL Certificated Engineer), on Oct 1st. PostgreSQL CE is an
entry level PostgreSQL engineer certification program. We expect at
least several hundreds of people will take the examin by April
2005. We also hope that PostgreSQL CE makes PostgreSQL more and more
popular.

For the present examins are held in about 100 test centers in Japan
and the examin itself is written in Japanese. However since we have a
partnership with Pearson VUE (http://www.pearsonvue.com/) to operate
the examin, it is possible that PostgreSQL CE could be taken effect in
US and/or rest of the world.

Software Research Associates, Inc.(http://www.sra.co.jp/index-en.html)
is headquartered in Tokyo and is doing lots of PostgreSQL businesses.

Uh, I work for SRA, but the community has always stated that the project
can not certify anyone. Just like the Linux kernel group doesn't
certify anyone, Red Hat and other companies do, the same is true of
PostgreSQL, so we are fine with SRA doing certification. Of course it
is an "SRA-certified PostgreSQL engineer", not a community-certified
PostgreSQL engineer, because the later makes no sense.
