Is there any Ruby on Rails certification available for RoR developers?

I am thinking of getting into RoR development, but would like to get  
certified if possible so I have something to stick on my resume.

Thanks

No respected Rails certification currently exists. Realistically, few  
respected certifications exist in the software development field as a  
whole. If someone offers you a Rails certification, feel free to spend  
money and put it on your resume. Do not expect positive results.

Or you o can take a practical approach, write software, show results!  
Perhaps contribute to the rails community with a plugin or something.

Stick on your resume the URL of your github or open source projects’  
page and rails related blog, that’s worth any certification.
