I think certifications are vastly overrated anyway.
Let me tell you how I evaluate a Drupal person if I am asked to do so. (Yes, this sometimes actually happens.)
My first and actually only strategy is to look for that person's profile on drupal.org.
This profile will let me check the kind of forum posts the person makes, the projects he or she is involved in, the documentation that was written, the cvs commits, etc. pp..
Everything relevant to a Drupal coder can be seen there.
If your profile is empty or your contributions are mostly advertising your services you'll never make it to my list of "people I'd work with".
