I am a big fan of certification. Why should a lawyer have to go to law school if she can pass the BAR. The same goes for a math teacher, a computer programmer, or an accountant.
A friend of mine took an MCSE course many years ago at significant cost to his company. Most of the students passed the class but only a very small number of them passed the certification exam. So getting grades in a course is not necessarily sufficient for passing an independent and objective certification test.
I learned it all on my own with books and paid $600 to take 6 tests. I passed all of the MCSE courses in 7 weeks, which I think was a world record at that time, way back in 1998.
