The real aim of certification for a contractor is to get your CV through the initial screening by agent and/or HR/purchasing numpties. Once you're through that and your CV is at the desk of the hiring manager the certificate probably doesn't count for much. So if it will get your CV through that first selection, do it. If you don't think it will, sod it; if you want to learn, pick up some books.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Done any requirements gathering/analysis? Or stakeholder management? I'm sure even the most die hard techies have had to at some point whether they like it or not.
If I can go from tape changer to BA anyone can
Requirements gathering/analysis - yes.
Stakeholder management - no.
I don't have any Prince2, Agile or ITIL qualificationsone day at a timeComment
