Since MMF 2 is underdevelopment and appear to be a quite professional tools,I would like to know whether there is any
prospect learning it for (1) making a career
(2) to obtain Any certificate,Diploma or Graduation course offered by the developper of this sofrware or any
third party university or institution as compared to other software.
LOL. Don't bet on it. It's a nice idea and all, considering that MMF does a lot of things better than Authorware and Flash, and even C++ and VB (if you compare the speed at which it makes graphical apps).
However, it's still not nearly as recognized as it should be. Unless some forks out a big hit like I'm planning to do or some big-shot company starts promoting/buying it, there's very little hope for MMF being well-known. Click products have been around for years, and although they've gotten recognition among most amateur game developers, very few, including/especially klik veterans take it seriously.
So to answer your questions:
(1) Yes, but only in shareware. Meeklits sold well, and I believe a few other klik shareware products have too.
(2) We wish. The closest thing to an official course in Click products can be found at Klik Academy ( http://www.klik-academy.com/ ). I don't think KA's up at the moment...

we've had to change the KA domain name... watch this space. KA is running several courses, none of which are "official" to clickteam, nor are they endorsed.
A level computing covers PASCAL and VB. University-level (diploma) probably covers C++. So, no. Unless you can convince them to change the syllabus, but I doubt it

most uni courses teach Java as their core language kris. A level computing doesn't necissitate the study of an actual language at all, but PASCAL and VB are popular choices.
those bastards told me they were the only ones available. I wanted to do something a bit newer :|

we did some shows at college a good 18 months ago, apparently some GBA development team saw my show which just showed a bunch of videos playing one after the other of random games i made. they said that they loved the story to Titan Genesis and wanted to reproduce it on GBA, anywho I heard nothing about this for months then the tutor said they want me, my girlfriend and a Year 2 (we were just year 1's at the time) to produce a set of sprites/backgrounds or GUI interfaces for this fighting game they were, and still are, making.
BUT! i turned them down because i didnt want to fuck up my final year. although i would have earned a nice little lump sum
MMF can make money but not just from selling products.
anywho during my 2nd year show some French GBA developers popped in but no luck i probably did miss out on something good too
Yeah, C++ works far better than MMF on those very advanced games (especially with the right engines/libraries), but IMHO, MMF is still better than VB when making games. VB's pretty damn clunky. But then again, so is MMF. MMF's advantage is that it's easy to learn and it's got the common stuff built-in (or downloadable as an extension).
But people have gotten money AND respect from click products... so if you have the persistence to do so, go ahead. I prefer making an application in MMF than VB.
