    The are many places from where you can obtain such certification but believe me they don't help. The best to learn SEO is self-study and implementation too see the results.

    Certifications are for amateur

    The best certifications are skills and portofolio and past works

    From my knowledge theres no such thing as SEO certification ...

    I just need some real proof in my country, they are so fanatic with CERTIFICATES... I wanna start/work as SEO consultant and I believe I need some certification for it..

    Thanks I will check it out.

    I believe there is no IOS in my country

    https://adwords.google.com/professionals it sounds like SEO certification right?

    w3schools doesnt offer SEO certification...

    To tell you the truth SEO is ever changing, what you learn today might now apply tomorrow. I think that the best SEO experts are self learned. It takes time, practice and a lot of reading and experimentation.

    Well said Grut!

    Get the number 1 (or top 3) on Google for "C0mmission Search Engine 0ptimiser" or "c0mmission the best SEO" (changing 0's for o's) or the likes and you verify yourself!

    Oh wait you can't or you would have to knock my results down a bit to do so first LOL!

    hilton-paris.net is certified to SEO though not certified to kill like James Bond or certified to thrill like Paris Hilton :)

    Self certify is the way to go by performance, client certify is the way to go by testimonials, any other SEO certification is, as Bart Simpson would say, "PANTS"

    Why do you want a cert? Not knocking the idea of an SEO cert, it is probably helpful in the industry and whatnot, but you should be able to prove your SEO skills on the internet and not on some test. Get a website to rank #1 for some good keywords, that would be much more impressive on a resume or job app than some certification
