I too think it's a good idea, if only because I could probably persuade my
company to give me a few days off to revise for an exam :-)
Have you thought about charging structures, SAP charge about 300gbp to take
a certification exam, and they offer courses that are specifically designed
to help you pass, which culminate in taking the exam itself. And if you are
collecting money and giving out qualifications, have you decided what
company should be doing it. And you'll need some way to say that the
certifiers are certified to do this anyway, otherwise the certification
won't be worth much.
Just thoughts...
