I think that Oleg asked the wrong question. With sufficient imagination,
it is always possible to draw *some* kind of relationship or connection
between virtually any two concepts, "six degrees of separation" kind of
thing.
A better question is, how are questions about third-party certification
programmes on-topic to this mailing list?
"This list is to contain discussion of speculative language ideas
for Python for possible inclusion into the language."

Third-party certification is not a speculative language idea for Python.
It's not even an idea for documentation about existing language
features. Third-party trainers and teachers may, or may not, mine the
standard Python docs and tutorial for concepts, but regardless of
whether they do or not, I think that discussions about third-party
certification programmes are off-topic and should be taken to either a
specialised mailing list or SIG (if there is one):
https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo
or to Python-List.
