Darth,
I don't think you will have any problems. I think as long as people are
honest about what they write in their resume, they should be fine.
Mate compare what you guys have done to some people that you guys know in
this business, you guys been studying few hours every day, buying work
books, renting or setting up racks. Remember what you had to go through to
get this cert. You have to go to the interview with full confidence letting
them know that if you don't know it, you have no problems learning it.
You guys will be fine, i am sure of it.
