I think the best credential you can provide to a perspective client, or employee for that matter is a good quality portfolio. Its one thing to have a range of qualifications, but being able to provide examples of work you have done can provide great details about your skillset.

Regarding further learning, there is little or nothign you can't teach yourself oniine simply by following tutorials, or if you want buy a book. Once you learn things work to perfect them.

There are people who are just out of college or uni with IT qualifications, this doesnt prove to an employer that you can actualy do the task. Having a portfolio full of high quality sites shows that you are up to the job.

Just my thoughts.
