I spent about a couple of weeks studying for the site designer and e commerce using only online resources like this site.
I have little experience in these areas however managed to pass both exam on first try(I really nailed Ecommerce)
I am now a MCIWD w/o any experience, hehehe.
I found the exams easy and I believe that they will not gain a good reputation with employers even if they ever get to be known.

may I ask why did you take the exam(s) in the first place?

The first thing I do when I'm going for a study it to calculate what the costs and effords are. I wouldn't be in the CIW developer track for shure, if I felt the same way as you.!
So anyone who reads above message: don't let it fool you It is a good basis for a new job and you know, in this business study is essential!

If you don't consider the CIW certification to be worthwhile, why bother getting it?

I have and still am working in the insurance industry for the last 15 years, but having got so fed up of it and with all my interests based around the web and IT, I felt that taking the CIW certs would give me a fairly good grounding to change careers. I will hopefully find a job in IT soon so work will become more like a hobby rather than a chore.

I believe CIW will become more acknowledged in the next 12 months and I'll hopefully be in the forefront (in the UK). Just my opinion.

That is right !!!!

CIW is relatively new certification, and growing exponentially. There are always people who think cramming questions and passing the exam without and experience is all they need. This kind of people brings disgrace to the industry and gets fired from their jobs.
