As Cheryl so wonderfully stated ...I too believe that investing the money in courses that will increase expertise in a particular software or skill is much more incredible than socking funds into a blanket certification.

The problem is, as I see it, none of the places that offer these certifications are accredited themselves by a particular organization that specializes and/or overseas this particular field.

For example, there are network certifications by companies such as Microsoft and Oracle that give their stamp of approval and have had their hand in the creation of the coursework, which makes their certs more credible and thus valuable.

Any 'tom-dick-and-henrietta' can put out a course they have written but who is to say they are the experts themselves?
