icpi certification?

The information taught in the course is very helpful, especially if your just starting out and assuming you take a class taught by someone who knows what their talking about and doesn't just read you the book (I took an NCMA cert course that was like the latter). As far as benefit...people seem to put some stalk in the "certified" logo. I don't tell them that the "test" I had to take was multiple choice and easier than a 5th grade science test.
