I have heard of it and know that some federal employees that have been certified - but they will have to re-certify due to the changes in Section 508 that took effect this January.

I know of no private sector nor educational employees (barring contractors, and even then agencies often will train direct federal employees before contractors) who have accessed the training or have been certified at this time.

Best,
