I've been in the creative industry for 16 years, My highest qualification is a Btec ND followed by a college certificate equivalent to HNC, but not recognised as such. 12 years ago I took an open college qualification in writing HTML, and about 10 years ago did some business training in Javascript. But have done nothing 'formal' since.
I've been using Dreamweaver since version 1, and I'm employed as a full time senior web designer. I'm in an IT services company and it seems the engineers are forever taking Microsoft exams, but I feel I'm overlooked and missing out.
I'd like to further my career and am wondering if gaining some extra qualifications might be the way to go. But what qualifications are recognised and worth while?
I've looked at Web Design Courses | Web Design Training | Internet related home study courses but whilst an Adobe certificate sound like the right direction the course seems to be teaching me to do what I've been doing for the past 10+ years!

- so how qualified are you?
- and what importance do you put on certificates?
- and finally can you recomend any worth while accolades?
