Any experience with Acquia Developer certification?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm currently looking to improve my resume and get a certification.

Acquia has several certification programs. I'm mostly interested in the Developer certification.

Does anyone have experience taking one of these?

I understand certifications mean little in our field and at the end of the day, experience is what gets you hired. However I can see the benefit for an employer to request this certification to estimate a potential candidate's knowledge.

If anything, you'll have the opportunity to compare what you know (and what you think you know) with the rest of the Drupal community. Better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses will show you where to improve. And you probably know what the outcome will be already. It'll just confirm what's hard to tell yourself.
