Just a word of warning... although qualifications help, experience is just as important. I've interviewed far too many people that put stuff on their CV, yet when I ask them specific details about a subject, they suddenly clam up because it wasn't covered in the Dummie's Guide to... or by their training course.
To summarise, look for ways of putting the stuff you learn to actual use, so you learn from the hands-on style as well as the theoretical stuff. It really does make all the difference.

Finally, think about what you can do or what you'd rather do, and then go for the training. There's no point learning to be a DBA if you want to do web development, for example. You've cited several certifications that cover a very broad range of subjects. IT is a very wide field, with several different areas you could specialise in. If I was you, I'd sit down and think about what you like and/or can do best.
Hope that helps
