I've been thinking of getting all the MQ and WBIMB v5 certifications.
Just wanted to know if people think they are worth the effort and expense ?

ie.
Are they valued by people as a measure of a persons knowledge and expertise.
Do they help people with when applying for jobs/contracts etc.
Do people think it is benificial keeping them upto date with new versions, do they change much. ?

This is more of a discusion point than a problem. Hope this is the right place to post it. Appologies if it's not.

I've gotten most of the certifications, and I've tried to keep them up-to-date. I've found that a lot of conferences will give a free certification exam, and I try to take the tests at this time to avoid paying for the test. As far as value, they make great line items on a resume especially when they are coupled with experience.
