Python certification
by Patrick Morris Aug. 9, 2018

Aug. 9, 2018

Hi all I know this might be a contentious question but ... Does anyone know of any PSF approved training or certifications for Python developers? There is this 10 year old page https://wiki.python.org/psf/Certification%20Proposal but I dont see any evidence that this was ever progressed past the discussion of it. Assuming there is no such thing as PSF approval, are there any certifications / training course that people would recommend, or would recognise for someone seeking employment with them? thanks Patrick

Hi folks, Nominations for the 2018 John Pinner Award <http://uk.python.org/john-pinner-award/> are open. The John Pinner Award celebrates voluntary service to the Python community in the UK, and recognises those who freely contribute their time and effort for the good of the community. Perhaps you can think of that person who quietly organises your local user group, runs workshops, mentors others online, or creates educational resources for others to re-use. It is the contributions of people like this who we'd like to celebrate through this award. Nominations close on 1st September, and recipients of the award will be announced at PyCon UK <https://2018.pyconuk.org/> in September. You can nominate any number of people and the nomination process is very simple. Full details can be found here <http://uk.python.org/john-pinner-award/>. If you have any questions, let me know. Peter.
