I'd never say it was useless - just that you can probably get the certification whilst still being a sh1t pro-tools op. It doesn't mean anything unless you can demonstrate you actually understand and can use PT (preferably under pressure, which no course can teach you).
To the OP - no, I've never heard of any other studio requesting a certification. Which studio was this, if you don't mind me asking (PM if you like)? It sounds like they're a little new to the game, and might be asking for a certification because they think that's what everyone else asks for, not because they really need you to have the qualification.
I personally don't think the qualification can teach you any more than you could learn on your own, working on a rig at home everyday on your own projects, teamed with watching over the shoulder of a pro/more experienced operator. If you don't have this option - then maybe it's worthwhile for you (depending on cost of course).
