Hi
In today's job market any qualification is an advantage on the CV. It may be
the differentiating factor and should show that you have attained a given
level. But don't tell your current employer!!
When you consider taking an exam, it is not only the subject being tested
that you need to be competent in, exam technique is very important. You can
know the subject inside out but if you make silly mistakes during the exam
itself, you may make it difficult for yourself.
My personal opinion is that regardless of the course you may take, you also
need to do some additional reading, exam prep and practical experience to
gain the most from the qualification. The amount required will depend on the
course taken and method of learning.
A factor you should also consider is the length of time you are going to
require to be away from the workplace. A boot camp may be a shorter overall
time, but is a more sustained abscence.

Is it worth studying towards an MCDBA (hopefully going to get my
employer to pay for it) ... has anyone completed it in the UK? if so
what learning methods did you use(ie Boot Camp, elearning etc)? And
who do you recommend for the training course?
Thanks
