Not enough to carry all the overhead and people they have. Certificates can be generated by any for-profit school, there is very litle in the way of barriers to entry.
What has more value, a half-dozen "certificates" from a vendor such as Sun? or a degree from Watsa-Matter-U?
Not talking about MIT, Stanford etc, but any degree has some value, probably more than any Sun certificate.
