You're talking about programming and creating programs. That would be a really, really useless certification.

  That would be a really, really useless certification. Please explain? The ancestor post by huhtenberg says he obtained certification for Visual Basic although he never wrote a single line of it before. My suggestion for the certification process is to actually use the skill at question, and using that as a basis for obtaining the paper that says "Yes, I can do this proficiently", where the skill in question is software development, not memorizing book knowledge. Why not test software development by making the test taker develop software?

    Because there is no objective measure for "quality" within an individual implementation within a language. The best we can hope for is some guarantee that people know what the tools and techniques available to them are, and that they know the factors that influence software quality. That would be more valuable than being language certified.
