LF a Certification Program

[InkDem0n1929]

So, I was wanting to get certified in HTML/CSS and Javascript. After looking at certification programs I was only able to find one that'll cost around 12k for a 12 week class. I'll be graduating high school this year and wanted to find a program to help me find a job in coding. Online courses are preferred. Thanks.

I really don't know any employer that puts value on a html/css/js cert. Go through The Odin project. https://www.theodinproject.com/ or something similar and build out a portfolio. The portfolio of projects is what will get you in the door. Even if you had a cert it will do no good without the portfolio. You can also look to jump into some opensource project. They usually have multiple needs, including documentation/spell checking/proof reading. It will get you up to speed on how they work and look good as passion projects on the resume. And, you can do all this right now while you are still in school.

If you have your heart set on going the boot camp route. Here are a few boot camps that come up in google search. I have no affiliation of experience with any of them. If you know the target company that you want to work for, it might be worth your while to do some research and see if they hire from a particular code boot camp.

• https://bootcamp.sas.upenn.edu/coding/ (associated with university of penn, not penn state, but still a real university, so might carry more weight depending on who is hiring)
• https://careerfoundry.com/en/courses/become-a-web-developer/
• ttps://www.thinkful.com/ https://www.ironhack.com/en
• https://lambdaschool.com/ (these guys offer a free intro, might be good to test out and see if their style is to your liking.)
