I was wondering if there was any qualifications for c# , kind of like the Zend Qualification for PHP that would be recognised by an employer?

There is no certification specifically for C#.

Because Microsoft designed and developed C# to be part of the .Net framework, which encompasses multiple languages, Microsoft certifications are not language specific.

When you take a certification exam, you do have the option to choose C# or VB as the language the exam will use when asking programming questions.

• If you are a Windows forms developer - Choose the Windows Developer 3.5 MCPD certification track.

• If you are a web application developer - Choose the ASP.NET Developer 3.5 MCPD certification track.

• If you are both a Windows forms and web application developer - Choose the Enterprise Application Developer 3.5 MCPD certification track.

I'd take a look at the Microsoft certifications for something you'd be interested in.

There are lots of them, for example see Microsoft Certified Solution Developer program.

This is the highest grade you can get as developer

MCPD http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcpd.aspx#tab2

You are can only make some of the needed certs too. With all passed exams you get your MCPD, each single succeeded exam is an MCTS - XYZ title.

edit: You can choose the language, but nothing in the exams are really language specific. You learn about .NET Framework in general.

Here is an Overview (done by a friend) for the .NET MCPD 2.0 http://www.hartsoft.net/MCP_MCAD_MCPD.pdf

If you want do to it for .NET 3.5 you have to pass the 70-356 exam, these are the basics. For the other exams (Winform, Web, distributed etc) you have to replace the numbers in the pdf with the numbers from http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/mcpd.aspx#tab2.

I dont know if i can put a name of a training company here, cause it's a little advertisement. (I add the name if iam allowed to).

Take a look at google or something else for books ("MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit" for example).
