W3Schools' Certifications

[D3x!]

yah yah I know somebody is gonna say noob question, but is a certificate like this even recognized by potential employers?

I am basically using a few of their courses as the bridge to what i want to study and am just curious if it is worth doing the certificate at all just as like a kind of proof, i know ultimately experience is better and that showing what you can do is proof of the pudding etc but just as a little cv spice if i can put it that way

I would go for a brainbench certificate. More expensive but Internationally recognized.
I have actually gone to an interview where the employer asked if I have any
brainbech certificates.

In fact e-contractor websites have a facility for freelancers to upload their brainbench
certificates to. Check it out - brainbench.com

their certificates are actually just over half the price, $49.95 vs $95, never heard anyone mention them before though

yeah i saw that website, whilst some points are valid i still feel they have a very useful teaching tool, they also nit pick a tremendous amount, leads to me think that something went sour

Do Certifications count that much nowadays or it's mainly a question of what can you do?

From what I've seen, a university degree counts more that a certificate.
