Specifically, to obtain the certification you will need to write a

first find the buffer overflow by reverse engineering a target program, 
and then obtain a shell from it or execute a command. This is a hands-on 
certification, not a paper test.

Sounds like potentially a meaningful, if narrow, test.

Immunity Debugger, Immunity CANVAS, and 
VisualSploit will be available to you during the certification process 
to enable you to write the exploit quickly.

ONLY those? If so, that would make yours a cert that is potentially 
somewhat interesting, but still is designed to promote a particular 
vendor's tools.

I'm pretty lost doing RE work without IDA Pro. Probably wouldn't make 
much difference in my case regardless. I can write you a simple stack 
overflow exploit given enough time, but probably not with a time limit. 
Especially not with an unfamiliar environment. And Halle Berry giving me 
a handjob. But I'm probably not the target audience?

Successfully completing the challenge will allow you to use the NOP 
signifier after your name and will potentially allow you to obtain 
discounts of Immunity products.

I like the name, though.
