I have never once, in 23 years of programming heard a programmer talk about getting a cert, brag about a cert, or seen a cert hilighted on a resume. I have never known any programmer looking to get a new job or promotion talk about taking a certification class. These are things sysadmins or IT personnel used to care about (any possibly still do), but programmers never did.
There's only one cert that matters for a programmer- a degree in CS or a related field (software engineering, computer engineering, math, physics, etc). And that matters for maybe the first 4 years of your career- less if your first job is at a major company. After that it's your experience that will open doors. And the bachelor's matters more than any advanced degree, unless you're entering a really specialty subfield.
In fact I'd say a cert makes you less attractive as a hire. It means that you thought the best thing you could do to get a new job was to pay to take a test, when instead you could have spent the same amount of time writing code. It puts a question mark on your judgement at the very least.
