[thelist] Brainbench Certification

[aphelan (Andrea Phelan)]

As a self taught web developer, I'm interested in aquiring some sort of
certification to  help uphold my qualifications to potential employers.
I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience with brainbench
certifications and how useful they have been to you.
Also how useful cert prep courses have been.
I don't want to challenge any exams until I am certain I can achieve a
'master' status, and I'd like to know what the best approach to this might
be.
Thanks!
