I know all about CCIE - one session fixing up hardware is no substitute 
for experience (and is still vulnerable to the methods I mentioned - it 
is however a lot better than a multi choice exam of course).

To cure the shortage of experienced Postgres folks there is only one 
solution - err, more experience! So the need is for good training 
courses (not necessarily certification and all the IMHO nonsense that 
comes with that), and a willingness on the part of employers to invest 
in upskilling their staff.
