This seems reasonable for the certification part. But these community colleges 
do not usually provide any certificates to the students. Their purpose is to 
help people who want improve their skills in various areas (computing, 
languages, hobbies), not to provide any formal recognition. There are some 
exceptions but mostly people attend these courses just for fun and not for 
professional skills.

My question was more about whether those who organise these courses need to be 
certified before we can list their courses in local LibreOffice event 
calendars etc. I'm definitely for requiring such certification from 
professional IT training companies. But community colleges seem to fall into 
complete different category and I have no idea on what to do with them.
