Get yourself to an on-site course, forgetting the zend stuff, you'll
learn loads off the other developers that attend, and if you're lucky
get somebody who knows their stuff teaching you. There will be plenty
more info to sponge up above and beyond what the zend cert requires...
at least that's my experience from courses from the "other side" (c#
etc).

Plus, you sound like me with the attention thing. Studying online is a
bad idea, too much easy access to RSS, blogs, news, ebay and personal
projects to make it a viable option.
