man, a bit of arrogance in here...
i don't really care to add to the pissing match, but whether someone learns PT by reading a manual or taking certification courses (or both), more power to 'em.
i took the courses, got certified.
did i use PT ahead of time?? yes.
did taking the courses help my workflow?? absolutely.
did i put my certification status on my resume?? of course.
did it have a direct impact in whether or not i got work?? hell if i know, but i'm getting it.
being "certified" doesn't really matter, in the end -- it's just signifies that you know your way around the program. just like a college degree signifies you took coursework and did an adequate enough job to pass.
when it comes down to it, you still have to prove your worth to land a paying gig. but being able to show a piece of paper -- be it a college degree or PT certification -- is a start. at the very least, it can't hurt.
