Some know this about me already, but I am a pretty big proponent of the idea of web certifications. But, I have to question the validity of a W3Schools Cert.
Not that it's a bad thing, or a bad idea, but how many employers are going to take a simple, 49 dollar online web cert seriously.
When you consider that getting my RHCE cost well over 2000 dollars...a 50 buck email saying I know XHTML Valid doesn't seem very weighted to me.
:)
I like the idea...I just have doubts...anyone else care to refute?

i recommend brainbench for technical/non-technical certs.
as far as w3schools, most of their stuff is elementery, so i don't think it's worth the price.
on a side note, for technical positions, no piece of paper can touch the impact that the demos i've put together on my laptop have on prospective employers. most are blown away that i actually bring it.

AS IF_____ money plays a role..."yo! my education was more expensive then yours, so I am better skilled then thy"
tsk..
sorry...I am in an emotional state today...no means to offense...I just believe in arguments that use financial figures to analyse the value of an education. To me that sound like elitist shortmindedness......
There are many expensive courses that don't teach shit.

I mean "DON'T believe"

True, and it wasn't meant to sound like that. Rather just to express that an Employer (which is who paid for my RHCE, anyway) would take that into consideration.
Arguably, though, showing any certification on a resume relative to the job you are after would probably be a plus.

ok, i understand.
I just notice a lot of difference in this system between US and Europe. I comment that sometime later, not in the mood now.
