I'm aware that many individuals have already addressed this topic, but I remain committed to pursuing it. With a growing number of users transitioning from Adobe to Affinity, coupled with the recent V2 update, I believe the timing couldn't be better for this transition. I sincerely hope the Affinity team takes this into consideration.

Official Certification or Authorized Tutorial Maker are in my opinion Badges of maximum Cringe, similar to bought blue check marks on certain social media.

Some people need certificates for their professional pursuits, not necessarily for acquiring new skills, but to enhance their resumes or CVs and compensate for the absence of a degree.

However, I must concede to your viewpoint, like how Adobe handle their professional certificates, which is obviously similar to purchasing social media blue ticks. But I believe that Affinity will approach this matter differently.

I understand that Certifications are not relevant and certainly do not equate to ability but in the education environment they are extremely important. Educational funding is tied to successful completion of industry credentialing. 
Adobe is successful because they have certifying avenues for schools to utilize in their courses. Given a choice of what application I use in teaching, I will choose the applications that have a way to satisfy the credentialing requirement. 
From a budgeting, infrastructure, and user standpoint Affinity wins hands down. How many schools would switch to Affinity away from Adobe if a credentialing path was available? Will graduates of these courses forgo Adobe and purchase Affinity? I believe the answers are “most” and “yes”, simply look at Apple, Google, and Microsoft competing for our students…. You stick with what you learned and know.
