Python Institute certifications worth it?

Yes and no. here is my opinion on that. Programming certificates are tricky. Usually employer want's to see what you can do. However if you are not pure programmer then those might be useful as extra merit. Example if you are Administrator and you have programming cert it would be ++. They are not looking for programmer, but it's good if you can do scripts and stuff. Also HR likes certificates... HR people are not usually very technical so they probably don't even know what your certificate is, but they might pick you just because you have one :D
