IBM provides certify for CICS skill certification

On behalf of ICBC, I raised the RFE to ask IBM provides CICS technical certify services and certification.
It can help CICS customers to certify and manage employee's CICS skill level.

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

    Hello,
    I usually attend the Technical Websphere Convention in Europe
    Certifications are available for Websphere, WMQ but there is nothing for CICS.
    How can I justify the benefits of the convention.My colleagues have their WMQ certification

    We do provide a large number of face to face CICS training offerings, where a certificate of completion is issued. Please see the information here : http://www-304.ibm.com/jct03001c/services/learning/ites.wss/us/en?pageType=page&c=a0000313

    If you require something more, could you please suggest some areas you would like us to provide certification on? Also, if the requirement for face to face, or online certification? How many hours would you like the certification to take (i.e, 1 week intensive, or 6 months part time, etc)?
