Im not sure, I just dont know, is this standard procedure?, I wouldnt want to seem ungrateful to the company by turning down an offer...
Every interview ever gives the interviewee a chance to ask questions of the interviewer. This would be a great opportunity to say, "I live in ____, so I'd really like to be hired for the ____ certificate; where have most of your newhires gone recently?"
I don't think you'd seem ungrateful if you turned down a class because it wasn't for the certificate you wanted. You've got solid reasons for wanting one over another, and QOL is paramount when you move to a new job. RAH has been turned down by applicants before and I'm sure they'll be turned down again.
