None. Show past work that validates and works across most browsers. That's worth way more than any certification.

The issue is that almost all certifications test on knowledge of outdated techniques and practice. On top of that there isn't any governing board that creates a standard structure for proving knowledge of web design. That all sums up to say your usually wasting your money when it comes to trying to get certified since its very unlikely that any of these privately created programs will help your career at all.
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!
