Certification

Hi All,
This post isn't particularly directly related to the Group but I
thought I would get some opinions.
I use SQL Server 2000 on a daily basis - both administering &
programming, coupled with VB6 client applications. I am currently
learning VB .NET
I am thinking about getting some kind of certification as I learn VB
.NET. I have been looking at the MCAD track on the Microsoft site. At
my current programming level this seems to be a good starting point. I
passed Exam 70-229 last year, which counts as an elective exam towards
the MCAD certification.
Does anyone have any advice/opinions for my current situation.
I am aware that there is the MCSD certification, however, I was
planning to tackle that one a bit later - see how I get on with the
MCAD first?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
