It’s good for a certification... there was a discussion in this list two weeks ago on the same subject. Summary:

1. Yes it’s fine.
2. You need experience or talent to get hired.
3. Talent can be either proven experience or your activity on the Cassandra project.

The original question was about prepping. I think that might be a question
best suited for datastax, since you’re paying them for the cert.

Certification is only as good as the organizations that recognize it.
Identify what you want to get out of certification, whether that
certificate will get what you want and make a decision based on that. The
delivered content can be the best in the world, but if no one recognizes it
then the certification element becomes meaningless.

I would be asking any certification provider which companies actually
accept it or recognize it as a demonstration of skill. Especially if you
are going to pay money for it.

On the other hand if you are just looking to build knowledge / get some
classroom experience then you can look at the various options with a more
subjective approach.

This is just my 2c based on a past life in the IT Security world where
"certifications" are a massive business and acceptance of certifications
can vary place to place and not a commentary on any of the certification
providers you directly mentioned :)
