Good luck foinding a shop that is willing to "train" you. There's a million kids out there who want to be installers and just about as many who already have experience, I've yet to see a shop who would rather take the time to train someone with no experience, rather than simply pick up someone who already knows what they're doing. I know I wouldn't.


Like Toby said, MECP doesn't mean you're an installing god, but it does atleast show that you have enough interest to take an extra step to further your education (no matter how big or small that is).
