Because those languages that you mentioned are not part of the original courses that Sololearn offered. Kotlin, C, AngularJs lessons , etc are user submitted lessons approved by Sololearn.

Maybe because these languages have lessons provided by fellow users, and there were no practice questions to answer afterwards.

The certifications, while a progress indicator are not certified certificates. They are not officially recognized unlike a CompTIA certification, so just be aware of that. Its very similar on the same grounds of receiving a certificate after finishing a typing exercise game. It's for show, but can't be used as a real certification.

Mcqueen he isn't trolling. it's a legitimate opinion that he holds. i mean there's a huge gulf between "[not] really help[ing] anyway" and "as valuable as anything in todays market", but i would agree with phantom more. these certs aren't very hard to achieve at all. in an interview I had, where I mentioned them, the interviewer replied "cool, in that same vein, I am most like screech according to this online quiz" (equating sl certs to clickbait "who are you most like" quizzes). He later said that I didn't get the job partly because I thought a sololearn cert was worth mentioning, which "exposed how little understanding I had about the industry." IT LITERALLY PREVENTED ME FROM GETTING A JOB (in part. There was also a reallyreally great candidate for the same job with lots of experience) I will say this: if you think a sololearn cert is "as valuable" as a bachelor's degree, then you are wrong. which, of course, is your prerogative. cheers.
