I came across this certification company online -ExpertRating online at: http://www.expertrating.com/courses/courses.asp They offer certifications in subject as Aging, Child Care & Parenting,Computer Applications, Health Care, Nutrition, & Fitness,Languages,Law & Legal Careers=to name a few. Most are 99 dollars and are taken non-proctored. Similiar to Brainbench http://www.brainbench.com/ Do these certifications have any real standing/acceptance/value in the business/computer or academic world?
Vendor-specific certification (e.g. Microsoft, Cisco, etc.) or widely accepted standards (such as A+ certification) is held in higher esteem.
"You can buy the Six Sigma Certification (Black Belt) at a special offer price of only $199.99 which includes the in-depth courseware and exam fee." Kinda funny
