I see your point.

 From https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals:

“A digital badge contains verifiable information about the skills and 
knowledge it certifies. It holds details about the exam and assessment 
criteria that can be verified by a third party. This programme invites 
you to become recognised as an Internet professional.”

So if someone were to ‘over-claim’ here it may very well back-fire 
for them.

However, I am certain the responsible people at the NCC have heard you 
and will consider the ‘branding’ in the light of your concerns.
