The tutorial, is, well, a tutorial, it is by no means a complete course of
study. So no, I don't think it's an appropriate place to start to develop a
certification.

Here's a couple of Python syllabuses (the first proprietary, the

I am developing this:

https://uwpce-pythoncert.github.io/PythonCertDevel/index.html

Which we use for a "Certificate" program, which is NOT a "certification".

But I like to think we've put together a pretty good curriculum.

This really isn't the right forum -- maybe the tutor list?

But if you think you want to develop a certification, you need to find
like-minded people to do it.
