Is My Udacity Nanodegree Certificate Powerful? by shegzhkn: 7:06am On Mar 10, 2020
Hi folks, so there is this udacity course - Machine learning nanodegree.

it kinda pricey , cost about a thousand dollars and after the whole program you will need to solve a particular problem with the knowledge you gain , that the capstone project.

After of all that , you get a certificate with your name on it.

Udacity is founded by Sebastian - Once a top google engineer and stanford prof.

Now my question is , in a job market place is it the the real knowledge that matters cos some folks might learn ML through other medium, or the certificate might prove to be powerful alongside with my skill set?

The Udacity certificate is good. But employers will be more curious about your portfolio. If you are able to use your Udacity capstone as a launch pad on which to begin creating other projects, you should be fine. Udacity is respected. Just make sure to put it on your LinkedIn profile.

Nope, it isn't. But the certificate could give you the motivation you need to push.

I think an Udacity certificate will look good for anyone applying for an entry-level or junior position because it will give a potential employer some confidence that the person has truly undergone an acceptable level of training.

In addition, the employer has the opportunity to go through the respective coursework and evaluate for themselves the level of exposure the applicant has already.

If money isn't a deal breaker, you can very well go for it. However, at almost a thousand dollars, I'll find it hard to justify the eventual Return on Investment as opposed to using free resources available online or some other cheaper options available on udemy but with similar value still.

You don’t need udacity certificate, like you already said the most important factor is how much study and practice you’ve done. Your side projects or open source contributions is all that matters.

Unless you want to motivate yourself you can stake the thousand bucks
