Well, it is nice that Andreas Antonopoulos are one of their board of Directors, because he is very knowledgeable about Bitcoin and Crypto currencies. He will not back any bogus organization that will issue doggy certificated, because he has a relative good reputation in the Crypto community.
I have been involved in a lot of recruiting for posts and we do not even consider "certificates" that are not verified by our local registering authorities. That does not mean that I will not look into this... so thank you OP for posting this.
