Like all things in Life, "it depends."
Some employers will want a certificate specific to your line of work - in which case the CCIP certificates are about as good as it gets. The university certificates are probably more all-encompassing, but do you really want to go to the trouble to get a degree in French language and literature just to be able to work here in a technical field?
Depending on the job, you may also get away with simply listing your level of French - using the accepted French terms ("notions" "lu, ecrit, parlé" "couramment" etc.) and let them "test" you during the interview.
Normally, it's only in specific cases where a certificate is required - entry to a French university, working for the government or similar type circumstances.
Cheers,
Bev
