Yes, but nowadays you dont learn to build a car to get a certificate
to drive a car. Postgres is available on platforms (win32) for example,
where you dont get in touch with the build process.
(Also true for all the binary distributions, also packages
on some systems where you just use make)

Well, I was thinking of a certificate process more then just an
online test. The problem seems to be to have an authoritative
test center where the candidates really have something of value
at their hands when they pass the certificate.
