Reply:Since none of the companies give C++ or C any kinda certification.Since c++ is not pateneted with any of the companies also with Bjarne Stroustrp its really diffcult
Reply:The answer of course is "It depends." It depends on these factors...


Do you have a CS degree from an accredited institution?


Are you already employed and utilizing your C++ skills?


Are you looking to enter the programming market or transfer from another area?





Certification can provide a form of "proof" that you know your stuff. This could be needed if you don't already program in C++ in your current job, or you don't have a Computer Science degree and are looking for a programming job. If you already program in C++ in your current job, then work experience and a resume with examples of the type of C++ projects you worked on will go a long way with prospective employers. If you have a CS degree, then your resume should highlight C++ projects that you worked on at school.





Including side projects that you do "for fun" goes a long way in showing that you like to program and what type of applications you enjoy working on.





And of course, if you are targeting a specific job and that job requires certification, then of course you need to obtain the certification. But I don't see a lot of C++ job applications requiring certification.





Acertification only proves that you know how to use their tool, but it doesnot prove how good you are as a programmer. Instead, all the employers askfor are the proper education and the related working experience.
