A British five year old has passed the MCP exam, proving he's both a Minesweeper Consultant as well as a Solitaire Expert. His family pretty much agree that it's just a matter of memorising the multiple choice answers: The hardest challenge was explaining the language of the test to a five-year-old. But he seemed to pick it up and has a very good memory.
When you are looking for an employee, do you look at pieces of paper that a five year old can get from memorising a few answers, or do you trust references and resumes?

You can't really gain much insight into a candidate based on a resume or CV, same thing matters for any diplomas or certifications he has. They are an indication and can land that first interview; but from there it's back to what does she/he actually know and how easy can they apply it in our context.
Oh, and if you put 'expert' or 'master' on your CV, be prepared to answer questions on that topic, and if you don't know the answer your chances of getting hired just dropped to the bottom end of improbability.
