    It’s always good to learn all you can about what you’re doing. Also, if you’re looking for a new job in the field it might help. If you’re happy where you are and feel that you know what you’re talking about, then it might not be worth the inconvenience and cost of doing a course. Although if it’s work related, it would probably be tax deductible.

    if you want to prove you are a dba, or know how to install windows, then a certificate is for you.

    A resume/CV/portfolio is much more impressive!

    I’m a systems developer for about 5 year. If given the chance (money and time), I would take certification exams. I thinks it’s for your future, to make you hireable. Employer seeks for it in your resume. Likewise, personally, It’s a form of self-satisfaction, I’ll be more satisfied and be more proud of myself if I passed any certifications for my chosen field.

    Of course it does… Coming from a person with 30 plus years of IT experience you can take my word for it. (seen it all, done it all)

    It gives the would-be employer a basis to compare between the candidates whereas gives the candidates a formal recognition of his/her knowledge. For those who are not changing jobs, they get to refresh / update their rusty level of competence. And believe me most of the time it takes a lot of effort and severe pain after getting used to relying on your day to day knowledge application and expertise.

    Of course a degree / diploma / certificate is nothing but an indicator of what level of knowledge to expect from its holder, whether or not (s)he has got it. That would luckily come out in pre-employment tests and interviews.
