Note that LPI-Japan (a non profit organization) already has a Postgres-cert=
ification
exam that can be taken world-wide through Pearson-VUE:

https://oss-db.jp/eng_exam

AFAIK right now this is Japanese-only. But there have been attempts to offe=
r this in
English too - see this old thread:

I guess LPI-Japan could have interesting input to this discussion.


Bye,
