actually it's the most common way to prove your worth to an employer in a job interview in the middle east.
you can show your creativity but it won't work alone, so yes it's a big deal in some area of the world mapLast edited by aelpop; 03-02-2016, 11:10 PM.

Honestly, there's so much cheating in certification as well, who would trust it?
Its safer to ask for a sample of work and get the person to talk about how they built it.
Plus, there are game courses that are effectively certifications. There's a couple on the forums...
But with so much fraud, who can trust certification especially after Microsoft and other scandals!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are the BEST Unreal Tutorials / Docs? There are none tbh... Here's why
Instead its better to just take projects apart (see the free 'creators' listed here)

Certification doesn't show skill in using the software, I have a lot of experience with 3ds Max but don't necessarily know the name of each UI element I use every day, and knowing what everything is called in the software doesn't mean you know how to use it. Employers are going to look at your portfolio and your work experience.

A while ago during my time in High School I was denied an Adobe certification simply because I didn't use the "appropriate" methods to achieve the results on the test. My methods were more efficient, but according to them it wasn't the correct route. =P Certifications many times are not indicative of knowledge or experience. Being able to demonstrate an understanding of a program is much better than showing a piece of paper that says you are qualified.

Not for certifications, I'd be surprised to find any studio that considers that when hiring. Only thing like that that could possibly matter outside of portfolio and work experience is if you trained at a handful of schools that do a good job of teaching. Most schools don't do a good job so most of the time your degree isn't a big deal. And a certification is even less important than a degree.
