Java Certificates

So simply put, after these worth the investment?

The ones I speak of are HERE

How valuable are these from an employers point of view? I will only have to pay £250 and the rest is paid by student loan company.

The problem I see is that, employers don’t really specify they want a highly experienced java programmer, they don’t really ask for much of an education either, they simply state 10-15 different technologies (java, c, c++, mysql, php etc) and say “you must have experience in the above”.

It is not very “junior” friendly, will these certificates help me at all or should I just fuck it and go on a mass learning spree and build a portfolio and advertise as freelance with stupidly low rates?
