Hurricane Electric, in addition to providing free tunneled service via 6in4, 6to4 and Teredo, has put together an informal, self-administered certification program for IPv6 network administration. This covers aspects of IPv6 technology and implementation on various platforms (Linux, Windows, Cisco routers, etc). There are several levels. At each succeeding level, you must answer harder questions. Several levels involve accomplishing actual network administration tasks, such as deploying an IPv6 compliant e-mail server. To obtain that level, you must exchange an e-mail with their IPv6 e-mail server. There are multiple levels, including Newbie, Explorer, Enthusiast, Administrator, Professional, Guru and Sage.

The site is available at ipv6.he.net/certification/.
