That has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the W3C... No, seriously. They are NOT related in any way, shape or form.

Though it's a common mistake people make because W3Schools allows people to think so, it's why they choose their name all those years ago; to prey on the ignorance of people new to the field.

http://www.w3fools.com

That site explains a LOT of the problem, and provides links to some better alternatives.

Yes actually, it does -- because their certificates [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj563ViG7Qg]mean exactly two things.[/url]

They aren't qualified to be handing out certificates in a blasted thing; they are not a recognized educational institution, they are not associated in any way with any of the bodies responsible for making the specifications... and you know what that means?

Their "certificates" are one big giant sleazeball SCAM, worth less than a sheet of bog roll.

[i]Though to be fair, I say the same thing about real college degrees in IT, particularly web development... YMMV[/i]
