Not really. If you're looking for a job in one of the areas which the courses cover, you'd need to be educated to a higher level than these courses provide. I'd say these are for increasing your own knowledge (for fun) rather than something to boost your CV.
you can be like 'im so interested in this field i took up an extra course in my own time etc,
it varies depending on the course - i have just completed computer science 101 and will get a "Statement of Accomplishment" sent via email but this is not always the case :)

This is very true. It also does increase your knowledge base which should make the subjuect easier in uni etc. (in my case maths & further maths A Level) :)
