SharePoint 2013 Certification

[deliengs]

Hi
I was hoping someone could provide me with some information regarding SP2013 Certifications.

According to what I have read, a pre-requisite to any of the SP2013 Certifications is the MCSE Certification (Exam 70 - 410/411/412). Is this correct?

Has anyone been through this path before? Basically had to go through getting MCSE first?

Also, does anyone have an SP2013 Certification, is it worth getting?

What resources are available for self study that will allow a user to learn and write the exam?

Thanks in advance!

Did the 2010 ones years ago. As for your questions

Buy / Download the PluralSight or Lynda SharePoint videos. They were loads of help.
Microsoft Virtual Academy -> http://www.microsoftvirtualacademy.com/product-training/sharepoint

Paths:

https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-za/mcse-sharepoint-certification.aspx

Will it help you? There are a lot of consultant companies pushing SP2013 but I don't know of many people using it currently in business but I've been out of the SharePoint game for a while now.
It will help you get a SP Admin or Dev job or enhance the amount of CRM's you can work on which counts for a bit.

My 2 cents, only if you can stomach SharePoint go for it. Colleague is going down the same path thus I already had all the links
