Market related is a mythical term.
In my experience HR people have no idea what the market related salary is for your position. Therefore they are usually willing to offer you up to 10% more than what you currently earn. The truth is that they find it very difficult to determine your value just by looking at your CV and a few interviews - so they're willing to offer you "a little more" than what your current company values you at.. It also makes it easier for the HR people to justify your proposed salary to their managers.
My advice. 1) Get your certification. 2) Motivate for a higher salary 3) Work for a month and start looking elsewhere for that extra 10%. Unless you're rewarded in your current organisation in other ways eg. flexible hours, further subsidized studying, free food, car allowance etc.
