Is it better to be certified in such things as flash dreamweaver and in the job market AKA REAL WORLD?


Thanks

I think it'd give you more credibility when you look for a job. It also looks nice in your resume .

Yes, i would think it would very muchly improve your chances .

Have any of you gotten certified and if so from where or through what Program?

Adam

Yes.

Depends on what level of a designer you are on. I am in training for a couple things right now. For certification purposes. For designing purposes, it looks great for resumes etc. Corporate companies also look for designers with great resumes and having certifcation and education definitely helps.

I am almost done with my certifcation for Photoshop 7, CS, and CS2 at www.vtc.com

Well I mostly want to get certified in dreamweaver and flash

I'm a certified Web designer through www.brainbench.com - this involved achieving multiple certifications in related fields including, Dreamweaver MX, HTML 4.0, Photoshop 7, Flash 5, Web Design Concepts and Web Accessibility.

It costs around $200 a year to take as many certifications within that timeframe as you like and is recognised by many large corporations including IBM.

Have they helped u get jobs and such?

I list a number of them in my resume but have no idea if they've actually helped or not.

It will pay off sooner or later
