Worth paying for a certificate? - 22 weeks in

I saw that many postings ask for a specific certification. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I am unsure whether employers value it. Which ones are overrated?

Ask the course provider how many graduates get jobs and where. Honest providers can tell you.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
