Re: Developer Certification

I would be interested in a home-based training course if one was
available.

Unless you have a specific client asking for this (and may be willing to foot the bill) just concentrate on being a good coder and getting along with people.

Reading legacy source code and problem-solving are nearly as important as coding skills, or toolset experience.

Certification is important for those clients that have a checkbox that must be filled out. In these cases many clients will help you get that certification if they want you for other reasons.

I'll go out on a limb and say that this specific certification is unnecessary for the majority of current and wannabe Apple product developers.
