In my opinion/experience, certifications for Java programming are useless. I've been working in Java for 10 years now and not once has anyone asked or cared if I was "certified" by some random company to do Java dev. It feels like a scam to me. In regards to the other certifications I have no idea, but I feel that they are probably similar.
I agree that old tech will have EE in it for a long time. But all the docs for EE are also free to read and learn on your own. The best skill you can have when being a programming is self learning/teaching.
