We are open to cooperation on certification if anyone thinks it will help.
Just a reminder for anyone that doesn't know. We are accredited by the UK
government national agency Ofqual for quality assurance in qualifications
and our IT User certificates are referenced to the European Qualifications
Framework and conform the the EU ECVET strategy. Our support infrastructure
is built on FOSS, LAMP stack and Drupal primarily and one of the reasons we
set up was to provide a business model to support FOSS and CC learning
without having to sell licenses. We have been building this for about 6
years now, it is a non-trivial task :-)
