I believe certification at any level is simply a piece of paper that says 'this person has been taught to think our way' Just like your (higher) school certificates > Me, I have enough "certification" to wall paper my office. And for my money, that is all they are good for. Proven ability to get the job done is all I want. I really do not care for any certification short of my own approval. If I need a job done and somebody puts their hand up and says they can do it properly, I hire them, if they cannot do as I require, or as they have led me to believe, its back on the heap with them. I have had trainees in the past and have even had some tertiary students come and go. The certified tertiary students knew next to nothing. Although they could put together a primitive flash presentation.
