 Hi there, and welcome to the WordPress.org ticketing system!

 WordPress has no certification system, so this is something they've made
 up on their own, along with all the other certifications on that page.
 (you'll notice the Google partner is an image, and not the official
 partner badge which would show certifications when you hover over it as
 well).

 As noted by the [https://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/
 WordPress Foundation trademark policy];

 > [...] and they cannot use them in any way that suggests an affiliation
 with or endorsement by the WordPress Foundation or the WordPress open
 source project.

 (This has been reported to the Foundation, and they will look into the
 use, I'm closing it as `reported-upstream`, as others more suitable to
 handling this have been notified, and as there is nothing more we can do
 in this ticket specifically).
