I think this is not the only point of a certification. Actually a lot a trainees are interested by getting an evaluation at the end of the course. It's a rewarding experience in itself to see how much you've improved your knowledge. Of course you can do that by running a mere evaluation. But delivering a certification is even more rewarding, and it makes even more sense if it's a community-backed vendor-independent diploma. You even see that as as an act of community onboarding.
