MITx's 6.00.1x on edx is a low cost certificate for beginners and people without a cs degres.
Generally, certificates can even have negative value in a CV, really depends on the technology and where you want to apply
Actual results, e.g. something you've built or an open source contribution you've made beats most certificates
- throwawaysea 6y agoI'm asking for a friend who is looking to pivot careers into CS, or at least bolster their resume in their current field by adding programming to the mix. They're a long way from having an open source portfolio, but want to be able to signal some baseline value on their resume, the same way a degree does. Online courses/certifications seem like they could be that signal, without the immense time demand and expenses of going back to college. Are there any universities' whose online certifications are taken seriously?
