Certification will not translate into dollars anymore then hardwork and observation. I spent a lot of time practicing quick keys and edits at home on an mbox and in the end I was faster then any of the guys that were certified from full sail etc... They are only going to show you one way to work and only show it to you one time. I worked at a great studio with good engineers and i would just watch them edit the entire day and then go home and try to do the same thing. In the end, if you are really fast and organized with your protools operation then your reputation will spread via word of mouth. If you aren't then no piece of paper will convince anyone. Spend the money on gear. My coworkers at the studio sent their money to pay for their college loans. I had a decent home studio. Anyway....
