TBVH I think they are. If you were the one employing won't you pick those Certificates over nothing? Those Certificates shows zeal to acquire more skill and knowledge. Even when it's free how many people sign up for it and completes it?

i tell you, you will see them ruling with force, considering cow over human beings, lack of certificate causes it.

If you have it and can show how you have applied it or are able to apply it, then of course it is.

The relevance of any certificate is a function of how well you can defend it. So whether it's online, free or not, if you're able to defend it, you will get value otherwise it becomes worthless from the perspective of the potential employer.

You can go for online training but focus more on the skills you are meant to acquire rather than the certificate. That way you will be able to defend the certificate.

You can try:

Linkedin.com
Udemy.com
Learnsmart.com.ng
Coursera.com

I see Op stock in the middle of acquiring certificate just to please employers of labour instead of focusing on acquiring skills to improve his own career and life.

Until op step outside his comfort zone and take calculated risks he'll continue to ask questions about how to impress employers


This I have seen!

I think it depends on the organisation you're getting it from. Fluke Corporation, Schneider Electric or Siemens aren't bad though. But instead of stating Online Certificate, you can state completed trainings.

One thing I know is that no knowledge gained is ever useless if its not useful today it will be useful in future so get the knowledge and certificate
Re: How Relevant Is Online Certificate To One's CV?? by sammieguze(m): 10:06am On Aug 06, 2021
Yes. they really do. As long as what I learnt is practicable.

Say, web design, data analysis can be learnt online. I got my first 100,000 job with the help of the data analysis I learnt online.

It is not about the certificate. it is about what you learnt mostly and how well you can practise it.

It helps especially for entry level job.

Which of the courses?

I know most of the courses on Grow With Google are paid courses offered on Coursera except the Android developer course.

Online certificate only adds up to your CV but is irrelevant in the job you might be applying for. I know a friend who did her BSc in University of Ibadan and had an online certificate in PGd from London. She applied for a job in an international organisation in Abuja. She was taken in as a volunteer staff in the workplace. It was later on she knew that the online certificate on her CV was just for add ups. They told her emphatically that if she had gone to the UK for the program, she would have been staffed. They don't value on-line certificates despite she did the online course for 8 months and she spent over a million naira doing the same online program.

Before asking this question, you should have done your own research.
Its not proper to ask a question this ambiguous
There are thousands of online course and they don't have equal standing.
It would have been wise for you to specify.
Employers would go for you if you have the skill needed so if your online
Online training is in line with the job you seek, please add it to your cv.
Let me also add this Google skillshop offers free training that most employers would die for.
