Does there exist a rating agency or group that rates IT certification programs
the way several such groups exist for colleges and universities? My son-in-law
wishes to upgrade his skills, but we're very concerned that some of the
programs are nothing but fancy scams.
Thanks,

I'd worry about about how to use that number. The prevailing view in both
academic departments and industry is that Java is on its way out. For the kinds

Actually, I'd beg to differ with you on that issue
I just spent the last ten years building large scale commercial systems
for major F500 companies using enterprise Java.
A good example is a major credit card processing services company. We
replaced their IBM mainframe COBOL/CICS
