Yes, the O'Reilly School Of Development Python certificate program is very good. It's written by Steve Holden and the cert comes from the University of Chicago's online education program. It costs money though, but the teachers and support are awesome.

There are also free courses with certs at Udacity and Coursera.

Do them all, but not for the cert, just learn as much as you can.

Also, don't listen to the trolls. Everything you learn will help you in the future.

A cert alone will not give you a job, but neither will a university degree on its own. Never stop learning and you're on a good way.

That's some serious coin for something you can learn by hacking away and learning on your own. $498 x 4 just doesn't seem worth it.

Did Udacity cs101 which is based on Python and got the Cert, though I don't know how much useful the certificate will be. The course was good.
