Hi, I posed this question via a comment form on the site as well, but it would probably be usefull to have a public discussion about it so as to spread around any answers that come out of it.
I work with a small computer center in the Philippines, teaching in part BSD related things. We would love to become accedited, or have the ability to certify people in BSD. I would argue that the steps to becoming accredited can be a technically rigorous as you like, i.e. trainers have to demonstrate specific BSD knowledge, institutions should be certified by government or other organization. But becoming a certifying institution should not have a high initial up-front cost, for example, it costs $10,000 to give certification. This would keep non-profits (like ours) in developing countries (like the Philippines) in the running, and spread BSD knowledge as far as possible. -Any ideas on what a center will have to be or do to offer certification? -Any ideas on costs? -How can we best prepare so that we are ready when the standard becomes available?
