Do the certificates we earned here matter anywhere?

Just wanted to ask that we have earned so many certificates here and do they have any value outside this platform or not??

S2XPHOENIX🇮🇳 , No they not hold the same weight as a formal degree or certification, question:-But why we need certificate? answer:-The certificates are demonstrate your dedication to learning and help you stand out from other candidates. & the certificates you earn on SoloLearn/anywhere a valuable way to showcase your skills and knowledge in programming. Note that, We learn those course not for certificates just to take an idea. Please try to read the courses for information not for certificates,and keep your skills up👍.

It will actually matter on how the employer looks at the certificate but these certificates are to motivate someone to continue learning more

After seeing what goes on here, with people posting answers in the comments, and other people using those answers to pass tests and move ahead without understanding what they're skipping only to ask 50 lessons in "plz hlp" about something covered in lesson 10, if I were a hiring decider, I would make sure to use other criteria than Sololearn certificates earned.

Mirielle , The streak mechanism is psychologically dangerous. It conditions people to focus on beating the timer and forget why they took a course in the first place. Do yourself a favor and do what I did. Intentionally break your streak for the hell of it. It's mentally freeing. It puts control back in your hands. How much better would you study if you didn't have a robot whipping your back?

S2XPHOENIX🇮🇳 the certificates here have about the same value as what it costs to earn them. I doubt there are any employers who would consider the skills learned here are enough to make you employable. Sololearn tutorials help novices step up to beginner level, and not much beyond that.
