With so many different types of certificates and training available these days it seems hard to figure out which ones are valuable and which ones are worth nothing.

I have been working on my bachelor's degree for the last few years (with a few more to go...) in Information Technology. I have been wanting to get some certifications under my belt in my free time, specifically ones that I already have a broad knowledge of that I could easily study for. I found Microsoft Technical Associate certificate and had never heard of it before last week.

Anyone hear about it and know if it has any weight to it? If i put it on a resume/application will someone notice it as being valuable?
