Are Certificates Necessary As A Programmer/ Developer by Chuky7(op): 10:46am On Jul 08, 2020
Are certificates necessary for programmers...

Like the one's gotten from most of these IT Academy's (not sure of online)

In cases like in recruiting..is it a requirement as something tangible for your employer to get an idea of your skills...

A cousin of mine says it is but I don't think so...

What do you guys think

Depends on the level of the skill needed. Also your portfolio is another certificate in disguise

Certificate or not, you will still have to scale the code tests and job interviews.
