The problem is that you will end up with "students" coming only for
the certificate, who wouldn't care much for Python, and you will end
up spending some amount of the money for these certificates.

You will also be disturbed after the conference for certificates from
"students" who claim to have attended the conference, but, not
received any, and who will demand certificates without anything listed
on it, so they could fill them with the names of their friends.

It is not a differentiator because everyone will end up having a
certificate. If HR are going to look into it, and accept them for the
certificate (a shame!), and not for their *competency*, then the
project team is doomed, because it still doesn't tell us if the
individual is *capable* of any work.
