The benefit of any certification is that it is documented. You can put it on a resume/CV or you can put it on your professional website or on something like LinkedIn. The direct benefit is that a person seeing the certification can explore exactly how the certification is earned. This is different from say a university course where you see the title on a transcript and you then try to infer what the student might know. Course descriptions are one thing; deliverables are another. Certifications might be able to be reverse searched where you can see others who have it and find names you are familiar with their skills. It increases credibility.

It is worth mentioning that in the field of geospatial science, certificates demonstrate the formal education and theoretical foundation, but what really matters more is the practical experience; this is what makes hiring managers trust potential candidates. This practical knowledge can be showcased in a robust portfolio which not only signifies your technical skills but also demonstrates how you can apply theoretical knowledge to solve real life problems. A professional GIS portfolio not only provides a credible evidence of your skills but might also prove to be a lot more important in relation to your employment than certifications alone since it is a more direct and a clearer representation of your professional value.
