Applying to LA city jobs and need some clarifications (self.cscareerquestions)

I'm trying to apply to this role: https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/lacity/jobs/4639070-0/programmer-analyst-1431-k-revised-8-28-24

Most of the information appears to be straight forward with applying except for the certification requirements, specifically:

SELECTIVE CERTIFICATION In accordance with Charter Section 1010(b) and Civil Service Rule 5.31, selective certification will be used for some positions that require certifications in one or more of the following areas. Only persons possessing the following at the time of filing may be considered for appointment to fill such positions.

Certification as a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer, Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer or Microsoft Certified Programmer. proceeds to list 22 other certifications

My confusion is, does that mean I need to have all of those certifications in order to even be considered for the role? Does that mean that my bachelor's degree and experience not help with these certifications? If I don't have any of these certificates, does that mean any organization offering certificates would satisfy their requirements?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
