A certification is always nice to have when you are looking for a job, but on the job training is the best way to learn. A splicing course will give you a good idea of what to do, but it is nowhere as good as actually working with someone that has the experience to show you the routine to make it more profitable and easier. Are you sure you want to splice fiber? A lot of guys can't take the sitting in one spot for hours on end doing repetitive work.
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Winston Churchill
