Re: cert discussion

[Alan Bell <abell@asp.csc.calpoly.edu>]

Our department teaches an S.A. course which many of the campus administrators
are hired from.  Our department also uses the course as a means for hiring
our five student administrators.  Students get on the job training in S.A.
but it also allows us to operate the many computers on a shoestring budget.
However, we have no certificate to give them other than the record that
they've taken the course.
