Do Undergraduate Certificates add any value?

For some occupations, a cert is more than enough - they just want to know that you took all of the qualifications for the job.  Many jobs in the medical field only require a cert for instance.  But it's a terminal degree - meaning there isn't an AA or BA to get after that.  For example, a Phlebotomist.  You don't need an BA or even an AA to get a job.  You just need to take the classes and pass an exam, and you get a certificate that you can then get a job with.

Do you mean a certificate or certification? You can earn a certificate in pharmacy tech at a college, and you can earn a certification in pharmacy tech from various organizations (PTCB is the only one that matters). The certification is what you really need to get a job and comply with state laws.
