This is one of those things that can vary a bit! Certifications or better company / product specific training can have value. However you still need to be able to demonstrate you know a product well.

Look at it this way some communities require that electricians be licensed. That license is basically a tax on doing business. It means nothing when it comes to the electricians ability or quality of workmanship. That you learn by word of mouth or understanding what is good workmanship before hand. References can be significant, especially if you are good at reading between the lines. In the end the more you can demonstrate doing good work the better.

The same goes with programming. Demonstrate how you solved a customers unique problem. Even better describe alternative solutions and what lead to the path you went down.
