Certificate

Question

What can I do using solo learn certificate? Is it possible for us to using it as a former certificate to get a job ? For a reference? Or just for fun?

Answer 1

I don't have a degree in Computer Science. But I do have one in Economics.
That said, my company has a requirement that basically says something like, "you must have a college degree or be so good that we won't care."

Answer 2

In India degree is must due to competitive education system, over population and to perform filtration process in job selection. Here 95% of companies will ask college degree (any field ) to recruit even for a small job. 1st preference is college degree. 2nd preference is skills. If you are more skilled you can start your own company. And no need of college degree.

Answer 3

Degree is just a entry point. Knowledge is enough to get Job but mostly companies needs qualifications related to that job. So I don't think without degree you will be eligible for the job. If you don't want to get degree then there is another option you can do some certification courses to prove yourself.

Answer 4

Sololearn certificates are useless. Never use as a reference.

Answer 5

Ah yes... Indeed. I hate to say it... but the IT industry in India, from what I've been exposed to, is a broken system based on tenure and useless certifications rather than real skill and performance.
The work culture of Indian software companies I've worked with are so focused on meaningless toxic metrics and reports, they have no breathing room for taking risks, which is essential for spawning innovation.
There is so much great talent in India being suppressed by bureaucracy and unqualified management, it's historically been a constant battle trying to empower my remote development teams to be the best they can be.
Sorry... I can't help but to be critical after having so many bad experiences working with incompetent management from several different Indian IT companies.
I hope the new company we're working with now will be much more aligned with American companies and our work culture. Our relationship is so new, only time will tell.

LOL... I'm what many of the closed minded, old school managers would consider their worst nightmare as a client.
They can't stand how outspoken I am about their practices and ridiculous policies. They are so uncomfortable with the level of transparency I advocate for with the developers on our teams.
This isn't a criticism of the awesome Indian software developers I've worked with. I love the amazing work ethic and desire to learn from most developers I've managed and mentored from Indian companies.
From their perspectives, I think they are always pleasantly shocked by how far I will go to advocate for their best interest against the silly policies of their management.
I do believe things will eventually improve as long as people like myself and good companies like mine continue to drive positive change that reaches the decision makers in upper management.

Answer 9

Mostly for fun.

Answer 10

I'd say just for fun, a degree in Computer Science would be more acceptable as it is earned through years of education.

Answer 11

Nothing but it encourages you, keep motivated keep coding

Answer 12

It's difficult to get a job without degree, since most candidates having degree will have better projects and more skills than one without degree. This is not a rule. The recruitment process is not good enough which can test someone purely on the basis of coding skills. The interviewer will ask you questions from cs core subjects also. However, they will mostly judge candidates based on your ability to come up solutions for algorithmic problems.

Answer 13

Just wonder though. Is there a way for us to become a web developer or getting a web developer or any IT job without degree?

Answer 14

Wafiey Misi well the easy way is finding IT bootcamp that will distribute you to IT job afterwards, for the hard way is you do a *bit* of IT projects and certification yourself and include it in your cv

Answer 15

Certificate is the requirement of world for recognition whereas skill is the requirement of self to know self.

Answer 16

Since u r from malaysia.. I would say its pretty hard. Im a mechanic tho.. programming is just for fun. But what i heard from a friend of mine, most company would prefer foreigner. japanese, westerner, pakistani,indian. My friend has degree in computer security something (i dont remember)..still failed to get a job with his degree. He ended up starting an R&D company.
Well i think i can relate too. Since i didnt finished my school, all thanks to my ability to read in english.. So i can learn through internet.. and with my friend's help.
Landing a job without degree in malaysia, u need an insider "orang dalam" to recommend you. You have to show your work as a proof showing that u r capable of giving what they want.
If you have built a website before, with online transaction feature, or something like that.. U can show them your work. But still, competing with others who have a college degree, its pretty stiff.
You have to be very good, and have someone to recommend you.

Answer 17

Just for fun

Answer 18

It depends on how you will use the certificate... But my advice is don't rely on it, for it does say fundamentals on it. so take those certicates as a foundation of your educational phase

Answer 19

no
