<div dir="auto">Agreed with Nick. I find this certification very useful.

The first objective in the RIPE Terms of Reference (RIPE-1) document is:<br>
<br>

<br>
Having training and certification processes for RIPE NCC services fits <br>
well within this framework.<br>
<br>
Even if this weren't the case, it would still be fine for the RIPE NCC <br>
to use certification mechanisms like this to promote the RIPE database. <br>
They aren't aimed at the Randys of the world, but there are plenty of <br>
other people who will find this sort of thing relevant and useful.<br>
