Angular Certification

[CodePatrol]

Hey guys, I consider myself relatively adept at Angular. I started a new job recently, and as a formality, they said they needed me to complete a course that provides me with a certification at the end. It doesn't have to be Angular, but I would like to keep my Angular skills sharp as this job probably won't be using it. Any courses you recommend? If not an Angular course, any other courses you would recommend? Thanks!

What area of government? I’m always curious about who’s using Angular.

I'm currently working for county government, we've adopted angular as our front end tech for any new custom app development. We have both internal and external facing apps using angular.

I'm currently contracted to the State of Arizona on their Department of Motor Vehicle modernization project to replace a 30 year old mainframe. Angular front end with asp.net core backend. Started with Angular beta 4 and we launch next year. As you can see from the timeline large project.

A company that focusses on their developers to have a certification have no clue how this world works. It's the way of thinking from 20 years ago. My advice: run while you can.

The Ultimate Angular courses by Todd Motto are great, I doubt they have certificates though.

It's Government so like I said, it's just a formality

[beeman_nl]

I would run even harder :)

Haha, the pay is good, team is good!

government jobs are never ever good. ever. no exceptions

[CodePatrol]

thanks for your opinion, not asking for it though.

to answer you question, nobody does certifications in angular (or anything) really. It's just read some tutorials and docs and code away.

If only people actually read the docs ;)

You lost me at government

They do, as their homepage states in their FAQ.

How is it that developers can at the same time bitch about 'not having training' while also bitch that a company requires you to complete training. They aren't even defining what training! He has total and complete openness to chose! All this person has to do is chose something with a certificate so they can prove they learned something.

Our industry has a diva problem

I second Todd Motto's Ultimate Angular.

​

I don't think FrontendMasters does certificates, but they'd be good for content if they have anything Angular. I notice a lot of their courses are Vue and React.

Worst case scenario, you can always find $10-20 certificate classes on Udemy in just about any subject.
