Found it. This was a website that I was told was being recognized by some employers as verifying experience.
I don't know how much stock I'd put in it though. http://www.brainbench.com/ Michele -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michele Waldman Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 7:41 PM To: 'NYPHP Talk' Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] W3 Schools? What always got me in the door was a Computer Science degree from UC-Berkeley. That seemed to help. As an employer, I'd be looking for a combination of education and number of years of direct experience. Five years is considered an even exchange for an education by some employers. There was a different website and no one I either met or heard about had used their test results as a way to document their knowledge. I may have heard this from a headhunter. From what I understood, it actually worked. As an employer, I would put much stock in it. But, if I can remember the website, I'll forward the link.

Anyone have any experience with the W3 Schools tutorials and Certification? The site has a lot of tutorials and look decently well written. Testing for a cert is $75, and I'm not sure if it's going to affect any hiring decisions but it does let us "externally motivated" folks test ourselves against a measurable standard. http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Since I'm not yet in the PHP Rock Star ranks, do you think this might help?
