You'll find many vocal people --- Anton in the lead --- who will come
charging out to deny this. You won't find anyone else who knows anything
detailed about it --- they don't advertise enough detail to evaluate
whether the test is worth anything or not --- so their word has to stand
unchallenged, at least on this point. I really look forward to hearing
what you have to say about this program.

You're in good company there; people whose expertise and opinions
I respect don't seem to have any use for these professional
certifications. But if you leave it off your resume it won't hurt you
come interviewing time:-).
