E-commerce certification

| I've just recently passed the CIW foundations and site designer exams. I'm now being offered the chance to do the e-commerce module also. As you know, after doing the site designer and e-commerce module, you get become a Professional Site Designer or something like that. My question is, is it worth my while to do the course? Is it good, well recognized? I'd love as much feed back as possible, especailly from people who have the certification and are working in web design/IT as I'm currently not working in either!
Thanks everybody | |

| Well, I'm not working in the field although I was instructing for a while, but I think it's worthwhile. You get your first look at the server admin stuff and a lot of work in the future will be in e-commerce, I think. Like you said, one more and you get the Master Designer which is much cooler than professional, I think. It's up to you. | |

| Believe me it is worth your time and effort. Depending on the career you are seeking, possesing a Master Designer cert definitly shows your expertise in the craft. People will take you serious when you tell them you went out and got certified. Remember though, your true skills is in your physical work. Get experience by putting your work out on the web and gain experience by creating different styles. For example a business site, a multimedia site and even a site directed towards kids. When you go for that Interview you can show that employer you have experience with this style and that style. Finally, after you obtain that Master Designer cert, become familiar with ASP, JSP and PHP. Even though it is not required 9 times out of 10 the company you try to interview with will have a database application that you need to access in order to run something. You don't have to be a guru but at least have some knowledge of these server programs. | |
