Thanks everyone for all your input, appreciated! I think the comment from Scott about benchmarking is a compelling point to getting the certification. However the accreditation will only mean that you have a very good understanding of how the tags, functions and overall structure of CFMX work and does not necessarily mean you are a competent programmer who understands good programming concepts and is an analytical problem solver.

I work with two code monkeys here who have both sat the exam. They got both got Advanced status and have both said that the certification will trick you on certain code etc. Not sure of the merits of the actual certification, but if you were able to get an Advanced Status in CFMX, I'd respect you more. Mind you having my respect isn't exactly a worthwhile achievement. I was going to sit it, but took the easy opt out and did the Flash Certification, hey it worked at the time. I plan to take the exam this year though, mainly for personal testing reasons. If i were an employer and you didn't have certification and you were up against someone with certification, personally it'd weigh up reasons why and probably choose that person as they have been benchmarked. P.S I'll be in on that study group i guess. -- Regards, Scott Barnes - http://www.mossyblog.com http://www.bestrates.com.au Theo Galanakis wrote: > How many people in this list have attained Certification? > How valuable is a CFMX Certification?
