Hi everyone.
it well be great if there is a certificate like CCNA, so we can add it to our resume XD
hmm what you think about this ?
CCNA?
Cisco Certified Network Associate XD
so it will be ACCA for arduino XD
oh i think i found the the godfather 550 karma!! 
give me 1 =(
So what would the certificate show?
i am really serious about it, i study business administration , and always have a dream to play with electronics so its other chance for me, it's hard to design a cercit , without having a big knowledge, so arduino opening a new world for me, i can make anything i want,
first why there is no events here i don't know, second it will be great if someone can have a certification in arduino,, so it will be like cisco,, ok its big subject, but look at cisco how they work, start from the same stage, open source then now like what you see, lets say first certificate for beginners, the second for sensors and how you use it, the third for motors, the last one for communicate GSM and these things
Here you go - go get a certificate:

Like an MSCE (Micro-Soft Certified Expert).
Perhaps a merit badge would satisfy your needs. Merit Badges for the Job Market « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
You can also buy them to show off your skills. Accessories, Badges/Patches Products Category on Adafruit Industries

You beat me to it, MrsCR; I was just on my way to adafruit's site to get the url......
yup @Runaway Pancake
like this

wahooo @MrsCrossRoads
that's what i am talking about, thanks alot
to be honest, that's silly 
it's not what i am searching on,
something professional not for kids !
Excuse me interferring :.:

Why do you think it is for kids?

This isn't a joke, it's a cutting-edge trend. List a merit badge on your CV and it should arouse the interest of an interviewer. You did want to talk about your projects? I would be more impressed if you could explain your independent project than if you just completed a course. First reference is the Wall Street Journal and second is the New York Times.
@vffgaston in my country always asked about what certificate you have, must be have signature from the government or at least like cisco
i am sure if i show them this Badges i will not have any job, ok i like the idea, but not for this country Russia =(
other thing ok if they accept me because i have allot of them, how did they know its not fake !!
here no one asked you what project you make, they look on what certificate you have, and for that i am looking on a certificate 
@mrscrossroad
If you must have a certificate try courses from Explore a subject with an XSeries Program | edX. Some courses offer certificates and some don't. No courses specifically for Arduino, but it is a pipelined, RISC processor so maybe intro to computer science from MITx.
thanks MrsCrossRoads for the link, it seems interesting i will look deep on that site
MITx i am trying to go out from computer science these days CCNA its enugh for that feld for now
it will be great if i have English course 
There's a set of steps that have to happen before there can be "certificates":
- There need to be a set of employers wishing to hire people with Arduino experience.
- They have to come to some sort of agreement of what skills they want people to have.
- Some "educator" has to come up with a class that teaches those skills, and offers a "certificate."
I don't think (1) has happened yet. To a large extent, Arduino was designed for people without "classroom knowledge", and employers would rather you had that BSEE, BSCS, BSCE, or whatever. (Maybe that UTX MOOC "embedded programming" certificate (which is being offered again in Jan. Embedded Systems - Shape The World: Microcontroller Input/Output ) would be helpful.
Even with all three steps in place, many "certificates" are considered pretty worthless by Industry (I think the cisco certifications are among the few that have a pretty good reputation. A lot of Microsoft certifications get sneered at.)
that's a perfect answer 
www.edx.org amazing website
AUTONAVx: Autonomous Navigation for Flying Robots
6.832x: Underactuated Robotics
i don't know how to thank you i was searching on that from long time 
i think i have a exited year XD goodbye world see you in 2015 8)
If I was interviewing, I would be impressed if a candidate described making something like this from an Arduino:
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=197983.0
I would produce a couple of photos to show what it did:
That coding (it was PetriH from Finland, not me) shows a deep level of understanding of C, interrupts, video signals, music, assembler, game design, use of limited resources, and so on.
Much more impressive than waving a bit of paper around.
Nick Gammon hmm i think i was wrong
i like your way to impress the interviewr
for that i am starting to put all my projects on my personal website
i think it's better to put a paper on his face
look what i make, it's more powerfull way,
many of people have certificate but can't do any project,
thanks for your advice
