When skim reading a CV, if nothing stands out, it doesn't get further attention. If there's a certification on there, I may read a little further into it. The certification doesn't determine the ability of the individual, he/she has to prove that in the interview(s) and probationary period. For me, it's mostly just a foot in the door, I still have to prove I can DO what the paper SAYS I can do. The certification may be a demonstration of the individual's self motivation to keep up to date. | |

It would be off topic if the OP were fired and asking if he had grounds to sue or something similer. | |

Work on fixcing that first above everything else. Not just for this job, but so you can succeed in the next one. (BTW, very few employers see certifications as impressive and some of us have had such bad experiences with people who couldn't do the work they were certifiied to do that we don't consider a certification worth the paper it is printed on, don't waste your money or your company's money on this stuff.) | |

@xerxes - It sounds like the reason your request was denied was because You Don't Use The Language, earn a certification that will help you do a better job, in a language you use currently. The certification isn't for you only, its also to improve your skills, for the company so you do a better job.

Spelling, grammar, "employee" --> "employer"
