Some of my courses were related to certificates that many people list on their resume.
The questions are very bad. Very very bad.
One example:
Which of the following considerations are most important when choosing a software solution:
A. System Requirements B. Something else C. Distribution Method / Software Installation D. Something else
My answer is Distribution Method (ie, how do you install it, or is it available as a web service). After working in tech for 20 years, distribution is still the hardest problem, and the one that can take the most time, when you consider the total time by all stakeholders.
They said that is not the answer because there are software installation managers.

I understand why that certificate has the answer they gave, and I understand why the test is in multiple choice format, I just deeply disagree with each of those decisions. After taking that test, I feel like anyone with that cert will need to be retrained after hiring. I feel like it is worse than useless for many of it's claimed benefits. (You do learn some about hardware and standards, which is nice)
