Manglement likes pieces of paper (Score:4, Interesting)
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...

But his prices are too reasonable, a manager won't believe you if you say it cost $X, but if you waste $x thousand they are much happier.
There is something Dilbertesque about this whole topic. I'm not against examinations per se, but I am against the inappropiate usage put on their results.
