    Yes, your reputation on TeX.SE. – Gaussler Oct 07 '21 at 15:00
  • And may be some besides? – WinnieNotThePooh Oct 07 '21 at 15:02
  • None that I know of. I don’t think there is. TeX knowledge is not something that is usually tested anywhere. Perhaps there are universities in the world where they give courses in TeX, but that’s probably the closest you get. The TeX community is rather small and is mostly centred around this site. – Gaussler Oct 07 '21 at 15:05

  • I have listed on my CV that I am proficient in LaTeX, without any proof. People usually believe that :) – Marijn Oct 07 '21 at 15:31
  • Ok thak all of You for answering my question – WinnieNotThePooh Oct 07 '21 at 15:34
  • The certificate for the beginner's course can be claimed after successfully de-obfuscating xii.tex, and for the advanced course after rewriting xii.tex with in 50% fewer tokens :) – Phelype Oleinik Oct 07 '21 at 16:04
  • Why would anyone claim LaTeX experience if they didn't have it? It would be a rare employer who would even know what LaTeX is, much less be impressed. – John Kormylo Oct 07 '21 at 20:13
  • TeX output could be a demonstration of TeX skills or knowledge (or of Googling ability). Although, by the design of things, deep mastery of TeX would not be visible on the page to a reader (although, again, non-mastery would be totally visible). – Cicada Oct 08 '21 at 04:17

There is not. The closest thing to it was a certificate given to people who completed classes offered by TUG back when they still offered classes and, to be honest, everyone who showed up for the class got one (although at least for the classes I taught, I did everything I could to make sure that they left knowing the basics of LaTeX, or for the one class on creating LaTeX classes, that they could do basic (and some involved) class design).
