Public opinion is that w3schools is a joke (see www.w3fools.com) and I can't imagine anyone taking a certification from them seriously. Keep in my they are in no way affiliated with the w3c. A better use of your time would be creating sites on your own and developing a portfolio of work you've done.

Exactly as I suspected. However, in those days of delegated hiring, I can see how it will be easier to get interviews with this kind of badge in the cv.

You could save yourself money and time and just Photoshop yourself a "Best programmer in $COUNTRY" certificate if you really wanted to look good to people who don't know what constitutes a meaningful certification.
