    In England the only real qualifications employers look for are a good degree and/or lots of experience. There are some city and guilds qualifications too but in the real world they are meaningless!
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    stoned your smoking too much man.

    although you don't have comercial experience, and you can prove that your competent at coding, certification is better that telling your possible future employer "erm i'm self taught actually"

    oh ..........e did i just say that!

    I think i need certifying..bleep!.....twitch....sniff

    c/c++ certification

    check the website www.brainbench.com
    they certify in all kinds of different areas of IT. The certicification exams deal with actual coding and language knowledge instead of tool knowledge. Also they rank you according to your score. Their tests are not easy so be prepared.
