Hi Roberto



Yes agreed we understand these are currently limitations and it is on our 
roadmap to one day address this. We had to build the certification platform 
incrementally and it was already incredibly difficult and time consuming to get 
where we are now, but improvements will surely come in the future.









Obviously I understand and appreciate your work. I know it is not simple and 
thanks for all your effort. I only do a proposal, but obviously I know that it 
is time consuming and we can all wait ;-)  







 If you have web developers in your company who are able to help, feel free to 
reach out and we can involve you in the process.








We are not expert on django even if we develop python plugin and script. I try 
to monitorate the https://github.com/kartoza/prj.app repository and if possible 
to give support. 



Cheers, 
Roberto

We have see the certificate for company and we understand your doubt.

Anyway IMHO I still think it's useful to have a cartificate for "QGIS Trainer" 
(as Tim correctly described it). 



To be more clear I try to give you two examples. 



Example 1 - Company and trainer

My company is one of the company able to give QGIS certificate. Why? 
Essentially for two reason:

1) for the quality of our course

2) for the support of 2/3 employees ( about 40 % of the company) on the QGIS 
project. The 60% of other employess occasionally use QGIS and in general GIS SW 
(focus on web developmemt, GNSS tool, administratve area, etc.)



Actually there isn't any connection between company and people who deal with 
QGIS project. If tomorrow I and my colleagues which are connected to QGIS 
project will change company (today it is just an unreal hypothesis, but it is 
possible), my old company will continue to have certification, but I think it 
is not correct.  I think it is useful to have a certificate for "QGIS Trainer" 
and that is mandatory for company to have one or more trainer in its 
organization chart. How? probably the same rules of company certification can 
be used (to actively contribute to community and project). 



Example 2 - Trainer and student

We have completed our first course with certification. Actually a student which 
follow a course of 30h and an exam about QGIS have a certificate for his CV. I 
and my colleagues which work every day with QGIS do not have any certificate or 
we can "buy" a certificate for ourselves, but IMHO it is not clear the 
difference between trainer and student and it is not nice. 





Cheers, 

R

Hi,
You can generate a certificate for your company..
https://github.com/kartoza/prj.app/pull/1038

After you login, go to 
https://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/certifyingorganisation/list/ and on your 
organization row.. to the right there's the print certificate button..
All the best,
