The first part is very trivial these days, as in yes, I popped in an
Ubuntu install disk and it worked,
For the rest of it, you either know it (and dunnit) or not, your
assertion should be enough

now back to the course,
<shameless plug>
for my mental gymnastics, I teach some no credit courses at UNM CE
(coming soon at SFCC)
these go from PHP & MySQL, Rails, Asterisk, and other bunch, all open
source related,
</shameless plug>

"I" sign the certificates,
they go back to their places (knowing more than before) and show a
certificate with my signature and that's good enough,

if you are putting the curriculum together and teaching the course, then
your assertion on how the students did is the "certifiaction",
then have your place furnishing a nice diploma you can sign after
evaluating the students

on the safe side, you can publish the contents of the course and the
expected outcomes on line,
in case someone wants to check the scope of it,
