Pervasive certifications worth it?

Standard disclaimer:

Whether or not any certification is "worth it" is an individual decision. You alone must decide what your career goals and needs are.

Look at certifications from a cost/benefit or Return On Investment (ROI) basis. If they help you get a better paying job or make more money at your current job, they are obviously "worth it."

The problem is, there is no real way of measuring how much you can expect your income to go up as a result of any given certification. It also depends on non-related job search skills such as how well you network.

Pervasive certifications background:

The first of Pervasive certifications is the Certified Pervasive Technician (CPT). This is for people who "install, configure, and troubleshoot Pervasive database products." This is a basic certification. You must pass one single exam.

You must be able to "perform basic and intermediate troubleshooting and support with diagnostic tools and utilities provided by Pervasive.

The second is the Certified Pervasive Developer (CPD)

This is for people who have "advanced skills in designing and coding Pervasive SQL applications." This is a more advanced certification.

You should be able to design and code Pervasive.SQL-backed applications.

These are the basics of Pervasive certifications.
