Fundamentally, "certification" is just a certificate.
Some people know what they are doing despite lack of certification.
Some people are good at getting certified
In my books, any "certification" is only as good as the work it brings.
This is why I asked if any employer to state how they view it.
Instead, what I am getting is the worst of salesman snake oil approach.
Obviously some people have no confidence in "LPI certification" and its
support in the wider community.

Yep, I have some of those certifications, so I know exactly what you
mean. So, if you guys keep plugging LPI Certification the way you have,
it is going to get the same reputation as all those other
"certifications".
