At $300 you are going to have a fairly small market in the whole scheme of things because most people on the planet don't earn that sort of money. Economies of scale can reduce the costs a lot, especially if supported by the right technology and strategies to use existing resources but you still need ways to get the assessments to the students with credible quality assurance. In many countries, qualifications have to be related to national standards frameworks to be delivered through public sector organisations. The most significant framework in recent years is the European Qualifications Framework announced about 3 years ago. It provides a referencing system for all vocational qualifications (not just IT) so that employers in different countries know the level and typical period of study for any qualification. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] IT Certification
I know a kid locally that is working on getting ready for as many certifications as he can BEFORE he goes off to college. His main system is Linux of some type and like LO and OOo a lot, according to his mother a used book store owner. He may be interested in getting a Certification in LO, when it becomes available. He helps his teacher out now and he hopes to have as many college credits from high school going into his first sememster of college as others get after their second or third semester only from college. The kid is smart. He is about to take the A1 or something that costs $300+ to take. On 10/16/2011 05:25 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Fantastic! Good to see.
