Not really a fan of certificates...seems like a waste. The only time you should get one, is if your company promotes them...i.e. take so and so class and get a bonus or a raise.
Personally I think you'd be much better of making a few sample programs in each language, and showing those to the potential employers. Just throw them up on a site, and throw the url into the resume.
Create a pet project or two, contribute to open source. These will show what you actually know, where as a certification will largely just become a way for people to game the system.
