Recently I have seen a Java Certification Program being plugged
locally.  
Is there an Ada Certification Program?  Why can't we start one? 

These 'MCSE' type programs are usually more hype than substance but for
a 
high-reliabliity language like Ada there should be some measure of a
programmers knowledge. 

Like it or not these "Certification" programs are going to be part of
Software Engineering until the states make us get a licence just like a
plumber or barber ;-)
