hi daniel,
The RIPE NCC has been offering training courses since 1993.
which i have always said is excellent; though i have a joke about
what is essentially a product which is so complex to use that the
customer has to take a course to use it.
that is not my issue. it is that we are starting down the path of
folk wandering around out there saying they are ripe certified net
engs.
see you soon!

I see your point.
From https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals:
“A digital badge contains verifiable information about the skills and
knowledge it certifies. It holds details about the exam and assessment
criteria that can be verified by a third party. This programme invites
you to become recognised as an Internet professional.”
So if someone were to ‘over-claim’ here it may very well back-fire
for them.
However, I am certain the responsible people at the NCC have heard you
and will consider the ‘branding’ in the light of your concerns.
Daniel
