  I don't really know the true value of certification, but I would like extra bits of paper, because of the sad fact that it often impresses clue-less management.

  There is value in a fair and recognised certification programme, however I accept that they often become bureaucratic, expensive and out of touch with reality. Also pieces of papers often become a substitute for good recruiting practice.

  If only we lived in an ideal world...

    Then print up your own. Maybe I need to release Acme::Self::Certify that prints up a nice looking certification for you.

      Interesting idea....

      Should we have a competition to make-up bogus acronyms for the certificate bodies and exams?

        And while I'm neither for or against certification, I've been told by some people I work with that I'm certifiable. :)
