web certifications?

[nerdcore]

I would like to get some kind of Certification to say I am competent in web design. I know there are MCSE, A+, NET+ etc. for networking. But what certifications, if any, are there for web design? I know that XHTML isn't exactly rocket science, but I'd like to be able to give some evidence that I "know" what I say I do.

My boss called me today so he can put some info about my background on an RFP we are trying to win, and it became obvious to me that while I know what I am doing, I don't look that way on paper due to my lack of any certs and an incomplete college education. My resume reads great, but on an RFP they want to see some kind of "proof" not just "x years experience, blah blah".

Anyway I'd be looking for something like XHTML, CSS, or even ASP, php, Coldfusion (these last three are prob easier to find a credible cert). The w3 offers a online cert but to me that is not credible at all...any monkey could do that....

Anyway thanks in advance..

PHP has no active certification systems as of yet http://www.phpcert.co.uk/ but they may be on their way

Cold Fusion MX Certification from Macromedia exists as does for the rest of their products, Dreamweaver Fireworks etc.

ASP Certification is avalible via the MCSD/MCAD/someother 4 letter acronym which can be found on msdn.com

HTML - http://www.w3schools.com/cert/cert_html.asp
XML - http://www.w3schools.com/cert/cert_xml.asp
ASP - http://www.w3schools.com/cert/cert_asp.asp

MySQL Certification exists although thats probebly moving further afeild than your looking for.

Don't forget about the Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW):

This was something we talked about in my Web design class a couple years ago.
