The real reason I was looking for some kind of certification, is the course
I'm trying to start.
Here in Rio de Janeiro, there are ZERO PHP Training Courses (in all Brazil
I don't think there are more than three), and I think Certification is the
reason.
All other courses has a certification or at least a diploma from a
'Macromedia Certified' or 'Microsoft Oficial Partner' establishment.
It wouldn't be so bad to have 'PHP Endorsing Site', 'PHP Certified
Professional' and so on... don't you think?
